New York Times: US officials search for hidden Chinese malware that could affect military operations

US officials are searching for Chinese malware hidden in various defense systems that could disrupt military communications and resupply operations, The New York Times reported Saturday.

The administration believes malicious computer code has been hidden inside "networks controlling power grids, communications systems and water supplies that feed military bases," officials told the Times. The discovery has heightened concerns that hackers could "disrupt US military operations in the event of a conflict," according to the Times. The two nations have been increasingly at odds over Taiwan as well as over China's actions in the Indo-Pacific.

One congressional official told the newspaper that the malware was "a ticking time bomb" that could allow China to cut off power, water and communications to military bases, slowing deployments and resupply operations. Because military bases often share the same supply infrastructure as civilian homes and businesses, many other Americans could also be affected, officials told the Times.

The malware revelations echo a pattern of recent breaches by China-based hackers previously reported by CNN.
