Hinson Statement on 'Volt Typhoon' Cybersecurity Advisory

February 8, 2024
Washington, D.C. - Rep. Ashley Hinson (R-IA-02), a Member of the Select Committee on Competition with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), released the following statement on the joint cybersecurity advisory issued on Chinese state-sponsored hackers accessing critical U.S. systems and infrastructure.  
 
"I strongly urge everyone to take note of new intelligence revealing the growing threat CCP hacking poses to the U.S. Volt Typhoon hackers aren't amateurs tinkering with computers. This is a sophisticated, systematic CCP effort to control critical U.S. systems -- like water, electrical, and transportation networks -- when they deem the time is right to sow chaos. We must work in a bipartisan manner to permanently shut down Volt Typhoon and safeguard critical infrastructure against CCP cyber warfare." – Congresswoman Ashley Hinson
