American intelligence officials have previously warned against using Huawei phones out of fears it was a sieve for Chinese intelligence. In August, Fifth Domain reported that Huawei phones are vulnerable to hacking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cChina had a remarkable rise in capabilities that are stunning. A significant amount of that was achieved through stealing information of our companies,\u201d Coats, the intelligence chief, warned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The American <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fifthdomain.com\/dod\/2019\/01\/12\/with-china-looming-intelligence-community-backs-ai-research\/\" target=\"_blank\">intelligence<\/a> community\u2019s assessment of Chinese digital aggression comes during a trade war between the two countries, and after an agreement between the two nations to limit the use of cyberattacks for business intelligence broke down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Experts say that China frequently uses publicly available tools, which are relatively cheap, during their cyberattacks. Their attack patterns are also easy to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fifthdomain.com\/industry\/2018\/12\/13\/hackers-are-making-their-attacks-look-like-they-came-from-the-chinese-government\/\" target=\"_blank\">emulate<\/a>, and experts say that hackers are increasingly making their viruses look like they came from China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The intelligence chiefs\u2019 briefing also offered insights into how the cyberthreat against the United States is growing more complex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wray told lawmakers that nation-states are working with criminal hackers in a \u201cform of outsourcing that makes it even more of a menace.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cForeign cyber criminals will continue to conduct for-profit, cyber-enabled theft and extortion against U.S. networks,\u201d the 2019 intelligence assessment said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However in the immediate future, Coats warned that protecting the 2020 presidential elections represent \u201ca top priority for the intelligence community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe assess that foreign actors will view the 2020 U.S. elections as an opportunity to advance their interests,\u201d Coats said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The intelligence community assessed that the 2018 midterm elections were targets of foreign nations. Both Democratic and Republican party officials were targets of cyberattacks or misinformation, U.S. officials said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During his testimony to lawmakers, Coats said election security would continue to be a top focus for the intelligence community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOn the heels of our successful efforts to protect the integrity of the 2018 midterm elections, we are now focused on incorporating lessons learned in preparation for the 2020 elections.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S.
