In January, Jen Easterly, director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), along with Chris Wray, director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), testified before Congress about the growing threat of Chinese cyberattacks against U.S. critical infrastructure. Director Easterly testified that “CISA teams have found and eradicated Chinese intrusions into critical infrastructure across multiple sectors, including aviation, energy, water, and telecommunications.” Director Easterly continued, stating, “Given the malicious activity uncovered by CISA, NSA, FBI, and industry partners, we are acting now, knowing that this threat is both real and urgent.”
