Key knot: Chinese cyberattacks on GUam can undermine the combat capability of the US Army

The US cyber team notes that Chinese spies have already been able to go through the protection of gum systems, so it is necessary to maintain vigilance constantly. Successful cyber-attacks of China on a critically important infrastructure on Guam or other Indo-Pacific bridgeheads can undermine the US military potential in the region. About it reports Defense News. US National Security and Cyber ​​Command Commander General Paul Nakasone said GUAM was a key outpost of US troops.

The island can become the center of Beijing. The island is the center of logistics, intelligence, observation and reconstruction and an important base. Potential network cyberattacks and information technologies that provide electricity, water, food, and emergency response can have a very significant impact on the potential of the US Army. "Communications, the ability to use our most deadly weapons systems are all areas we will rely on.

We must act daily, we must be vigilant, we must have offensive and defensive opportunities," Nakasone said during the US Congress hearing with Issues of the Communist Party of China. Earlier, the Five Eye Alliance, which includes Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Great Britain and the United States, warned that the Chinese Spy group managed to slip past digital protection on GUAM and other places. Microsoft then attributed an attack on Volt Typhoon cybergroup.

General Nakasone notes that in the case of the next attack, as soon as they find hackers around critical infrastructure systems, they will need to be "removed from there". Therefore, one must be vigilant because the Chinese threat will not be episodic. We will remind, on October 2 the media wrote how the United States will protect the GUAM island from strokes with a network of sensors. On January 24, Denmark announced more than $ 13 million to strengthen Ukraine's cyber defense.
