According to Ray, even if all FBI cyber agents and intelligence analysts focus solely on the Chinese cyber threat, there will still be 50 to 1 more Chinese hackers.
The FBI chief stressed that the scale of the cyber threat from Beijing exceeds the sum of threats from all other major countries. Chinese hackers managed to steal more data than any other state.
Ray noted that the main threats in cyberspace come from China, as well as Russia, Iran and North Korea.
In this context, it is worth remembering the recent discovery of security experts from MalwareHunterTeam. They found ransomware for macOS computers.
Experts found samples of the program in the VirusTotal repository in December 2022. The ransomware virus is adapted for new M-processor-based computers and older models with Apple PowerPC.
