(Worthy News) – FBI Director Christopher Wray issued a stark warning Tuesday that nation-state or profit-driven hackers could “shut down” parts of U.S. society as he implored private business to do more to report attacks and to guard against them.
Wray used a speech at the Detroit Economic Club to issue a stark warning just a day after President Joe Biden warned Russia may very well launch large cyberattacks on America in coming days.
The U.S. must “be vigilant against someone half a world away trying to shut down an entire sector of our society with a piece of code, and I don’t use the words ‘shut down’ metaphorically,” Wray said in prepared remarks released by the FBI. [ Source: Just the News (Read More…) ]
