Zachary Tudor, the Associate Director of the U.S. government’s Idaho National Laboratory National and Homeland Security Science and Technology directorate, just provided the latest, chilling warning to Congress about the enormous threat we face from Communist China. As the Washington Times’ Bill Gertz reported this week:
Mr. Taylor told a House subcommittee hearing that the nation is facing “an unprecedented wave of cyber threats directed at our critical infrastructure.”
In addition to conducting cyber espionage to steal vital technology and information, China’s government-linked hackers are “pre-positioned” to conduct cyberattacks on the electric grid and other critical infrastructure, Mr. Tudor told the House Energy and Commerce energy subcommittee on Tuesday.
The Chinese cyber group dubbed Volt Typhoon in 2023 was found to have infiltrated U.S. utility networks with the goal of “long‑term positioning for disruption,” he said.
The operations target both information technology systems and operational control networks under Beijing’s strategy of using asymmetrical warfare. The strategy calls for “winning without fighting or achieving strategic objectives by undermining an adversary’s confidence and capabilities without engaging in direct conflict,” Mr. Tudor said.
“America’s adversaries are not waiting. They are already embedded in our systems, mapping our infrastructure, and preparing to disrupt critical operations at a time of their choosing. The threat is no longer hypothetical,” Mr. Tudor said.
“Cyberattacks on energy infrastructure are a daily reality and a growing strategic weapon,” he said.
This report makes all the more astounding the fact that the Securities and Exchange Commission continues to enable Chinese Communist companies – even ones blacklisted for being tied directly to the CCP’s military – to have privileged access to America’s capital markets.
While SEC Chairman Paul Atkins says he’s going to “scrutinize” more carefully such companies and what they are doing, unless and until he terminates a 2013 Memorandum of Understanding engineered by then-Vice President Joe Biden, our investors will continue – mostly unwittingly – to prop up and otherwise underwrite the greatest threat this country has ever faced.
This CPDC webinar takes stock of the extent to which U.S. investments in Communist China are imperilling the national security and the necessity for not only more “scrutiny” to be applied to such subversive activities, but for them to be ended – starting with the termination forthwith of the Joe Biden’s sweetheart MoU deal with the CCP.
