Intel official: Cyber threat warnings ‘blinking red’
By: Deb Riechman,
WASHINGTON — Warning lights about cyber threats to U.S. national security are “blinking red†and the digital attempts to undermine America are occurring daily, not just at election time, the nation’s top intelligence official said Friday.
Russia has been the most aggressive foreign actor, but cyber threats also are coming from China, Iran and North Korea as well as criminal networks and individual hackers, said National Intelligence Director Dan Coats.
Targets include U.S. businesses, the federal government, the military, state and local governments, academic and financial institutions and critical infrastructure, he said.
