Earlier today I read an article that says China has been hacking the FDIC since 2010.
Other articles I read earlier this week detailed about how Russia was able to target Ukrainian artillary units because they hacked their cell phones, and how Russia hacked computers and was able to down power companies in Ukraine.
Foreign powers hacking US companies and government agencies has become a huge problem. We've seen how hackers can shut down some of the largest sites on the Internet. Imagine we wake up one day and half of the United States has no power because Russia isn't happy with something that happened at the UN the day before. Or imagine our banking system is taken down for weeks at a time by a foreign power.
This will happen. And it will be a disaster.
