US Intelligence Warns About Disturbing Rise in Cyberattacks Around the World | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Top US intelligence officials warned members of Congress about a disturbing rise in worldwide cyberattacks. The director of National Intelligence, Avril Haines, said US companies and America's infrastructure were the most heavily targeted and Congress must act now, before a major disaster takes place. From water treatment plants to oil and gas pipelines to electrical grids to trains and airplanes, all of which according to the director of national intelligence are being targeted by hackers. According to a testimony, Ransomware attacks worldwide grew nearly 75% last year and our adversaries, like Russia and China, are teaming up targeting US infrastructure. A Ransomware attack in 2022 forced the shutdown of the largest fuel pipeline in the US. The closure caused major disruptions to gas delivery and led to long lines at pumps on the East Coast.
