Rubio Warns Massive Chinese Cyberattack Could Cripple US Infrastructure
- Rubio warned that a potential Chinese cyberattack on US infrastructure would be far worse than the AT&T outage, impacting power, water, and banks
- The AT&T outage on Thursday morning affected tens of thousands of customers' home phone, internet, and mobile services
- FBI Director Wray recently warned that China's cyberattacks against the US and allies are reaching a "fever pitch"
- Wray said China has hackers poised to attack US oil, gas, phone companies, and other critical infrastructure
- This builds on Wray's 2011 warnings about China pre-positioning for potential cyberattacks against US energy companies
