Representative Eli Crane (R-AZ) demanded accountability for the failure to prevent recent cyberattacks on American infrastructure in a recent House Homeland Security hearing, saying it was "one of the things that the American people are so frustrated about with the federal government."

Rep. Crane began his five minutes of questioning by pointing out the various instances of Chinese cyberattacks against the United States, quoting former FBI Director Christopher Wray in saying that "Chinese hackers are positioned on American infrastructure in preparation to wreak havoc and cause real-world harm to American citizens and communities if and when China decides the time has come to strike."
