FBI calls out China for making critical infrastructure 'fair game' for cyber operations...FBI Accuses China of Planning to ‘Wreak Havoc’ on US Infrastructure

"WASHINGTON —
Efforts by China-linked hackers to infiltrate computer systems and networks that run key sectors of the U.S. economy — only to lie in wait for an opportunity to strike — appear to predate Chinese cyber operations that sparked warnings by U.S. officials earlier this year.

FBI Director Christopher Wray on Thursday said Chinese government efforts to penetrate critical U.S. infrastructure for the purpose of setting up a possible cyberattack go back more than a decade.

"China-sponsored hackers pre-positioned for potential cyberattacks against U.S. oil and natural gas companies way back in 2011," Wray told the audience at a Vanderbilt University security conference in Nashville, Tennessee."

"America’s premier domestic intel agency has been on a years-long quest to implicate China for every imaginable kind of computer crime, from hacking and the theft of patents to monitoring Americans’ private communications. Beijing has dismissed the claims, accusing the US “empire of hackers” is trying to shift the blame for its own activities."
