We learned about an intercepted significant Chinese cyber attack on US assets last month. This from Michael Kan at PC Magazine:
āThe FBI disrupted a Chinese state-sponsored hacking effort against the US by resorting to its own hack to remove the malware from hundreds of infected Cisco and Netgear routers.Ā
The infected routers formed a botnet that a Chinese hacking group called āVolt Typhoonā was allegedly using to try and infiltrate US critical infrastructure systems. But on Wednesday, the Justice Department announced it dismantled the botnet last month by securing court orders, allowing federal agents to secretly remove the malware from the infected devicesāsome of which were likely owned by regular consumers.
āChinaās hackers are targeting American civilian critical infrastructure, pre-positioning to cause real-world harmĀ to American citizens and communities in the event of conflict,ā said FBI Director Christopher Wray in the announcement.ā
I used this example on American Sunrise with Dr. Gina Loudon answering concerns over both cyber and drug security threats from China. I mentioned that group purchasing organizations represent an oligopoly as they interdigitate with Chinese suppliers and hospital systems as purchasers. Large GPOās in the US include Vizient, Premier, Healthtrust Purchasing, and MedAssets. We also covered the COVID-19 vaccine debacle as an issue in presidential election politics. We finished on the importance of diversity in the provision of healthcare on a personal level and what The Wellness Company can bring to the consumer looking to be ahead of the curve as new threats are discussed in the media.
