A new Auburn University report reveals that China's state-sponsored 'Typhoon' hacking groups are systematically targeting US critical infrastructure—energy grids, water systems, telecommunications, transportation, and healthcare—to enable large-scale disruption during future conflicts. The hackers have already penetrated major telecom providers like Verizon and AT&T, accessing data from one million Americans including senior officials. Energy sector intrusions could trigger cascading blackouts across multiple states, while water system compromises threaten public safety and military operations. Unlike traditional espionage, these campaigns aim to preposition capabilities for strategic disruption, potentially delaying US military deployments in an Indo-Pacific conflict. Current US countermeasures—sanctions, indictments, advisories—haven't deterred China's activities, highlighting gaps in international cyber law and the need for stronger allied coordination. **Source:** [Industrial Cyber](https://industrialcyber.co/reports/chinas-typhoon-cyber-operations-target-us-critical-infrastructure-sectors-in-move-toward-large-scale-disruption/)
