This is your Dragon's Code: America Under Cyber Siege podcast.
Hello, listeners I'm Ting, and welcome to Dragon's Code: America Under Cyber Siege. Let's dive straight into the exciting world of cyber espionage. Over the past week, China's cyber operations have been making headlines, with sophisticated attacks targeting critical U.S. infrastructure.
The McCrary Institute just released a report detailing China's evolving cyber strategy. It highlights campaigns like Volt Typhoon, Salt Typhoon, and Flax Typhoon, which are part of a coordinated effort by the Chinese Communist Party to prepare the battlefield and exploit infrastructure gaps. These attacks aren't isolated; they're strategic, aiming to disrupt military mobility, economic productivity, and public health systems.
According to the report, China is inside U.S. systems, using tactics like hiding in plain sight and exploiting older technology. Former FBI Director James Comey has testified about China targeting systems critical to military mobility and economic stability. The U.S. has responded with sanctions, such as geo-targeted cyber sanctions, which limit access to digital tools and can slow down cyberattacks, making them riskier for perpetrators.
Cybersecurity experts emphasize the importance of proactive measures. Sanctions might not stop cyberattacks, but they can make them more expensive and slower. The U.S. has also tightened regulations on Chinese telecom companies, blocking new device approvals. China has amended its cybersecurity law to address AI and infrastructure risks.
So, what can we learn from this? Cybersecurity is not just about technology; it's about understanding the strategic intent behind these attacks. The U.S. and China are engaged in a cyber war of wits, with AI and infrastructure risks becoming central.
