Insufficient attention is given to the potential impact of a major cyberattack, which could cripple essential services and society as a whole. Compared to such an event, the COVID-19 crisis would seem minor.

Hackers affiliated with China's People's Liberation Army have infiltrated critical US services, aiming to disrupt logistical systems and potentially weaponize the information collected. The targets include Texas's power grid, a water utility in Hawaii, a West Coast port, and an oil and gas pipeline. The Chinese cyber army's objective is to compromise critical infrastructure, either to hinder US power projection in Asia or to cause societal chaos. The report highlights the alarming possibility of a comprehensive cyberattack that could bring essential services to a halt. This threat surpasses the impact of the COVID-19 crisis and poses a significant concern for transportation, hospitals, and society as a whole.

At the Capitol, we witnessed the hacking of outdated election machines, which are used in many states. This raises concerns as only three companies control these machines, making them vulnerable to hacking. Researchers have discovered serious security flaws, including backdoors, in voting machines used by 43% of American voters. These companies refuse to answer questions about their cybersecurity practices, and the larger companies avoid answering any questions altogether. Additionally, five states lack a paper trail, making it impossible to verify the legitimacy of the voting machine results. This undermines the notion of cybersecurity in our elections.

Hackers linked to China's People's Liberation Army have reportedly infiltrated critical US services, aiming to disrupt logistical systems and potentially weaponize the information collected. The Washington Post reveals that China's cyber army has targeted various sectors, including Texas's power grid, a Hawaiian water utility, a West Coast port, and an oil and gas pipeline. The Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity Agency warns that these attempts are part of China's strategy to disrupt or destroy critical infrastructure in the event of a conflict, either to hinder US power projection in Asia or to create societal chaos. Over the past year, hackers affiliated with the People's Liberation Army have breached the computer systems of around 24 critical entities.

We demonstrated how easily election machines can be hacked, raising concerns about the limited number of companies controlling voting technology. 43% of American voters use machines with security flaws, and some states lack a paper trail to verify results. The lack of transparency in cybersecurity practices is alarming.

There are increasing cyberattacks on critical infrastructure, including police stations, ahead of the 2024 election. The FBI warns of red flags similar to pre-9/11. Foreign threats from Iran, China, and Russia aim to disrupt the election. The Biden administration advises local sheriffs to prepare for cyberattacks on election centers. The FBI director emphasizes the need for defense and offense against threats. Local election officials are urged to be ready for cyber attacks.

The People's Liberation Army has infiltrated around 24 computer systems in the past year.

China's cyber program is the largest in the world, surpassing all major nations combined, and has stolen vast amounts of American personal and corporate data. Beyond cyber theft, a significant concern is the Chinese government's positioning within American civilian critical infrastructure, allowing them to potentially cause harm at their discretion. They have already embedded malware in essential systems, including water treatment plants, transportation networks, the energy sector, the electric grid, natural gas pipelines, and telecommunications. This threat poses a serious risk to national security.

Speakers discuss the severity and novelty of threats to the United States’ political system, focusing on Russian interference and the digital domain. - All acknowledge that the country faced a cataclysmic disruption to its political system that is unlike prior experiences. Speaker 2 notes, as a Vietnam veteran, that fundamental institutions were jeopardized then but proved resilient, and expresses hope for a similar outcome now. - Speaker 1 emphasizes two points: (1) Vladimir Putin’s determination to shape political landscapes inside Russia and abroad, and (2) the consequential role of the digital domain, which allowed Russian intelligence to exploit and manipulate more effectively, culminating in the twenty sixteen election. - They note that Russian interference historically involved exploiting elections, but never with such aggression, directness, or multidimensional methods. The Internet and modern technology serve as a huge enabler for influencing opinion and undermining fundamental systems. - There is a discussion of whether this manipulation was unforeseen. Speaker 2 indicates it goes back to the Soviet era with attempts to influence elections, but the magnitude in twenty sixteen was unprecedented. The digital environment provides malefactors with more opportunities to attack and influence. - The panel explains active measures as fabricating or propagating stories (even patently false ones) to advance a narrative, color perceptions, and lend legitimacy to political actors. They note that the Russians focused on specific voter blocks in states like Wisconsin and Michigan, with estimates that 70,000–80,000 votes could have swung the election. - They discuss methods beyond information operations, including collecting information (e.g., DNC and DCCC email breaches) and money-related tactics: money laundering, disguising funding sources for political actions, and potential extortion or blackmail. They stress that collusion is a tool in the Russians’ kit and that they recruit or exploit individuals where openings exist. - Following the money is highlighted as essential across national security domains; FBI financial investigators and intelligence analysts play key roles, and there is confidence that Mueller and others will trace financial pathways to uncover motivations. - The distinction between cyber warfare and conventional warfare is acknowledged: there are no tanks or planes, but the cyber realm constitutes a war for democracy. A robust response is needed to strengthen the cyber environment, including proposals for a congressional independent commission to assess and strategize future protections, involving engineers, technologists, scientists, and private sector input. - They reflect on why the nation did not respond with the immediacy seen after physical attacks (e.g., 9/11). The lack of a physical rubble-like trigger makes cyber threats harder to mobilize a national response. Leadership issues are cited: when the White House diminishes the CIA, FBI, NSA, or intelligence and law enforcement, it undermines efforts to address the threat. - They recount briefings to the president-elect in January, noting high confidence levels in assessments that did not rely on the dossier; the bigger concern is a perceived indifference to the Russian threat and the denigration of security institutions. - They stress the importance of institutional integrity: the press, law enforcement, and intelligence are pillars of democracy, and denigration of these institutions undermines U.S. credibility abroad. They advocate for stronger checks and balances and reiterate their commitment to truthful reporting and protecting the country. - The speakers, experienced and apolitical, emphasize loyalty to the Constitution and the need for decisive leadership and sustained commitment to democratic institutions, despite political challenges. They conclude with a solemn commitment to safeguard the country and its democratic framework.

The COVID-19 pandemic has shown us how vulnerable we are to biological threats, but we are overlooking similar risks in the digital world. A cyber attack with COVID-like characteristics would spread faster and further than any biological virus, with a reproductive rate 10 times greater than the coronavirus. While cyberattacks haven't impacted our health like pandemics, they have caused significant economic damage. To stop the exponential spread of a cyber threat, we need to quickly disconnect vulnerable devices from each other and the Internet. A single day without the Internet would cost economies over $50 billion. As the digital realm merges with our physical world, cyberattacks on essential services like transportation and healthcare pose even greater risks. We need to be better prepared for this digital equivalent of a pandemic. The time to act is now.

A comprehensive cyber attack could bring our society to a complete halt, affecting power supply, transportation, and hospital services. Compared to such an attack, the COVID-19 crisis would seem like a minor disturbance.

The time to act is now.

The architects of the great reset are planning a new move called cyber warfare, following the pandemic vaccine rollout. This could lead to a scenario where phones are dead, bank accounts are empty, and basic utilities like water are unavailable. The US government is suspected of embedding malware into critical infrastructure, including power grids and factories. Various agencies have issued warnings about cyber attacks, with Russia being a potential threat. The seriousness of these attacks is evident from incidents like the colonial pipeline shutdown. The potential consequences are dire, but not widely publicized. It is crucial to be prepared for such an event.

The pandemic has shown our vulnerability to biological threats, but we are overlooking similar risks in the digital world. A cyber attack could spread faster than a virus, with economic damages equal to or greater than those caused by pandemics. To stop a cyber threat, vulnerable devices must be disconnected quickly, costing billions of dollars. As the digital and physical worlds merge, the impact of cyberattacks on safety grows rapidly. We must prepare for this digital risk just as we did for COVID-19. The time to act is now.
