In a recent appearance before the House Appropriations Committee, Wray warned that Chinese hackers outnumber U.S. cyber specialists by a staggering 50 to 1.<\/p>\n<h3>A Clear Advantage<\/h3>\n<p>While China may lag behind the United States in many areas, the communist state has made cyber warfare a top priority. And in that domain, Wray says, China has a clear advantage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday\u2019s cyber threats carry more risks, threaten more victims, and are more pervasive than ever before,\u201d Wray said. \u201cA key strategy of China is to lie, cheat, and steal their way to surpassing us as the global superpower in cyber.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>The Numbers Don&#8217;t Lie<\/h3>\n<p>Wray told the panel that China&#8217;s hacking program is bigger than that of every other nation combined. \u201cTo give you a sense of what we\u2019re up against, if each one of the FBI\u2019s cyber agents and intel analysts focused exclusively on the China threat \u2026 Chinese hackers would still outnumber FBI cyber personnel by at least 50 to 1,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<h3>The Greatest Threat to Our Country<\/h3>\n<p>Wray called China \u201cthe greatest threat to our country,\u201d and said that FBI investigations into the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and their actors had increased by 1,300 percent. A proposed 22 percent cut in funding, he argued, \u201cwould mean scores of threats from China go unaddressed, and I can assure you the Chinese government is not cutting back.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Take Action Now<\/h3>\n<p>The cyber threat from China is real and growing. It&#8217;s time for action. Let&#8217;s support our cyber specialists and give them the resources they need to protect our country from this clear and present danger.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Call your representatives<\/strong> and urge them to support increased funding for the FBI&#8217;s cyber program.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stay informed<\/strong> about the latest cyber threats and how to protect yourself and your business.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Spread the word<\/strong> about the cyber threat from China and the urgent need for action.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During an April 27 appearance before the House Appropriations Committee, FBI Director Christopher Wray told the panel that Chinese hackers outnumber U.S. cyber specialists 50 to 1.
