FBI Cyber Division Assistant Director Bryan Vorndran released the following statement in response to a joint National Security Agency, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and FBI cybersecurity advisory regarding Chinese state-sponsored cyber operations.

The FBI and our partners are determined to disrupt the increasingly sophisticated Chinese state-sponsored cyber activity that targets U.S. political, economic, military, education, and counterintelligence personnel and organizations. The FBI remains committed to imposing risk and consequences for this type of repeated malicious cyber activity, and we urge our partners to apply these recommended mitigations to decrease the risk this actor poses to their networks.
