Washington, Oct 06 : Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director James Comey has reportedly revealed that China tops the list of countries that have been attacking the United States in the cyberspace.

Comey said that the FBI brought charges against five members of the People's Liberation Army earlier this year and added that they are very "aggressive and widespread" in their attempts to break into American systems to steal information that would benefit their industry, reported CBS News.

While he said that the number of such attacks was "many, many, many," Comey added that the Chinese hackers were like a drunk burglar who kicks in the front door and knocks over the vase while walking out with your television set. They are just prolific, he said. (ANI)
