The State Department is warning American firms to be on guard for a new type of malware that it says a Chinese state-sponsored hacking group has been trying to insert into the computer systems of critical infrastructure across the U.S, including in Guam.
The presence of the suspicious computer code was announced on Wednesday by Microsoft in a warning it issued to private sector users of their software. Guam is the location of a critical U.S. Marine base that would respond to China if it attacked Taiwan.
Also scheduled to meet with Wang was the U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai. They will both also attend an APEC meeting in Detroit on Friday and Saturday along with ministers from other Asian and Pacific countries. China has maintained it was a weather balloon that had blown off course, repeating that claim most recently in meetings National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan held with China’s Foreign Minister Qin Gang two weeks ago in Vienna, Austria. China had earlier halted regular military-to-military communications with the Pentagon to protest then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s trip to Taiwan last September.
