Is it time to end U.S. participation in the worldwide web (or to modify its access to US industry, services and economy)?

The Chinese hackers are working “to find and prepare to destroy or degrade the civilian critical infrastructure that keeps us safe and prosperous,” Wray said. “And let’s be clear: Cyber threats to our critical infrastructure represent real world threats to our physical safety.”

“Unfortunately, the technology underpinning our critical infrastructure is inherently insecure because of decades of software developers not being held liable for defective technology. That has led to incentives where features and speed to market have been prioritized against security, leading our nation vulnerable to cyber invasion. That has to stop,” Easterly said.

We are so dependent on communications and transactions which extend beyond the borders and over which we have effectively no control. We can't even tell, with certainty, where such attacks might come from. Have we reached a point where the vulnerability is so large that we have to do something to at least curtail use of largely un-monitored electronic communications on an international basis?

Maybe Creepy Joe Biden, our fearless leader, will tell his Chinese Boss "Don't"?

Maybe Creepy Joe Biden, our fearless leader, will tell the Chinese "Don't".

What's the alternative?

That placard sign in front of Wray is misleading. There's nothing Honorable about him.

finally waking up a bit I see. kinda pointless to worry about securing a "Intranet" for the US if we have open borders. the same hackers could literally just walk across the border and get direct access to our US-only "intranet".

a better start would be if the various agencies actually started protecting us instead of targeting us.
