Former NSA Director Warns of China's 'Unrestricted Warfare' Through Infrastructure Hacks
Chinese electronic penetrations of key critical infrastructure systems in the United States are an example of Beijing's conducting 'unrestricted warfare,' according to the four-star general who until recently headed the National Security Agency.
A former NSA director has issued a stark warning about China's cyberattacks on American infrastructure, labeling them as a form of 'unrestricted warfare.' The general highlighted the gravity of Chinese electronic penetrations into critical systems, branding it as a strategic tactic employed by Beijing.
In recent years, China has engaged in relentless hacking activities targeting crucial infrastructure in the United States, raising concerns about the security implications of these actions. The former NSA director emphasized the need for robust defenses and enhanced cybersecurity measures to safeguard against such attacks.
'These infrastructure hacks by China represent a serious threat to national security, and must be addressed with utmost urgency,' the former NSA director stated.
The ongoing cyber conflict between China and the United States continues to escalate, with experts urging for greater vigilance in the face of evolving threats. As the digital landscape becomes increasingly contentious, the specter of 'unrestricted warfare' looms large, prompting calls for coordinated efforts to bolster cyber defenses and protect critical infrastructure.
