US officials believe Chinese hackers could still have access to sensitive US computer networks they’ve targeted in recent months as a top American cyber official told CNN he is concerned about the “scope and scale” of the activity
The newly revealed Chinese government-backed hacking campaign, which targeted key US sectors like maritime and transportation networks, is “unacceptable” because the hackers sought access to networks that might allow them to disrupt critical services in the future, National Security Agency Director of Cybersecurity Rob Joyce said in an interview on Thursday.
” Concerns over Taiwan The NSA – a vast US electronic spying agency with a foreign mission – used its intelligence capabilities to study the Chinese hackers’ tools and to verify the sensitive US infrastructure they targeted, Joyce said. In addition to maritime and transportation organizations, the hackers went after US government agencies and manufacturing and construction firms, among other targets, according to Microsoft.
