Biden White House: China Can Close Down Ports, Power Grid

The Biden White House made a stunning admission that Chinese hackers have the ability to cripple the American power grid and ports, and it is reportedly not just run-of-the-mill intrusions but increasingly sophisticated actors with unparalleled skills.

“Oh, by the way….” says the radical Puppet-Biden admin before leaving.

Being as they’ve shared this tidbit, is anyone genuinely surprised by this after 4 years of these progressive clowns (and 12 of the past 16 years total)?

That is what I was wondering. Seems like if they try that we could do something equally as destructive to them.

This seems like a good reason to move everything off of gas and onto the electrical grid.

This from the dude who is adamantly opposed to using tariffs and using trade to get countries to deal with us fairly.

You're a cartoon.

Yes, China is trying to make their own OS because most companies in China run on windows, 80-85% of their computers are windows based. That includes their infra, I would also assume an extremely high number are connected to the internet.

Mutually assured destruction moment.

A few well-placed missiles into the side of a specific dam would turn the clock back on China by 50 years.

If true, then why does Biden allow Chinese balloons and drones fly over our country with impunity?

There is an active global marketplace where hackers sell zero-day vulnerabilities for software titles that are widely used. Some hackers have rules about who they’ll offer the hacks to but others only care about money. Multiple 3 letter agencies in the U.S. government are active buyers and jealously hide their purchases, until needed. Foreign governments are doing the same thing.

Our government is aware of critical vulnerabilities that could be used to disable our utilities, hospitals, etc but they won’t tell the software companies because they’d rather have the ability to take down those same utilities in other countries via hacking than to tell the software vendor so the vulnerability can be patched. A patch would help our enemies who use the software, too.
