US Hunts Widespread Chinese Malware in Critical Infrastructure That Poses Threat to Military Operations

Chinese state-sponsored hackers have implanted malware in US networks controlling power grids, communications, and water supplies.
The malware could allow China to disrupt US military operations by cutting off critical services to bases worldwide.
The full extent of the malware's reach is still unknown but appears more widespread than initially thought.
The goal may be disrupting US military operations in a potential Taiwan conflict rather than just espionage.
The Biden administration is urgently working to locate and remove the malware from sensitive networks.
