Eyeing China, Biden signs order to defend ports against cyberattacks
WASHINGTON -- U.S. President Joe Biden signed an executive order on Wednesday to bolster defenses against cyberattacks on the nation's ports, as officials warn about the threat posed by Chinese hackers.
The U.S. faces danger from "persistent and increasingly sophisticated malicious cyber campaigns," according to the order, which amends regulations on safeguarding vessels, harbors, ports and waterfront facilities.
