China’s Cyber Onslaught: US Accuses Beijing of Fueling Infrastructure Hacks

Volt Typhoon’s digital deluge sweeps US infrastructure: US officials charge China with cyber shenanigans, but Beijing plays the ‘not me’ card. Again.

Hot Take:

Well, it appears the US has finally decided to call a spade a spade—or in this case, a cyber-attack a state-sponsored hullabaloo. The Chinese government's alleged support of the mischievously named Volt Typhoon group is like accusing your sibling of eating the last cookie; we all know who did it, but good luck getting a confession. Despite the formal finger-wagging, China's response remains the diplomatic equivalent of "Wasn't me!" by Shaggy. Meanwhile, US infrastructure plays an involuntary game of digital whack-a-mole, with hackers popping up faster than you can say "cybersecurity budget increase."
