China

This is being reported by MANY mainstream media papers. 

Interesting to note that Bill Gates / Microsoft was the first to report it. That does NOT instill confidence in me. 

So this may or may not be true. It could totally be another government ploy to seize emergency power....

What do you all think?

Authorities are probing potential China-affiliated malware targeting US global military operations, hidden in networks that control their power grids and water supplies, according to a report.

Biden administration officials believe the malicious computer code could be hiding in the infrastructure that powers US military bases around the world, according to a Saturday New York Times report.

One unnamed official told the newspaper the malware, installed by Chinese hackers, is “a ticking time bomb” which could impair US military deployments by cutting off water, communications and power on US military bases.

The hackers’ reach could be much broader than the military operations because the same systems that supply infrastructure to military bases in the US often supply the homes and businesses of local residents throughout the country.

The first signs of the hacking emerged in May on the Pacific island of Guam, when Microsoft said it had detected a mysterious computer code in its telecommunications systems, the newspaper reported. Guam is the site of a large US air base.
