Senator Ron Wyden Urges Release of Unclassified Report on U.S. Telecommunications Insecurity

Published | Video Starts at 05:10

Mr. President, I'm going to close with this. None of these security vulnerabilities have been addressed. That's the bottom line, either by government or the private sector. The federal government still does not even require US Phone companies to meet minimum cybersecurity standards. So in my judgment, we're sitting here now recognizing that it's too late to prevent the salt typhoon hack, but there sure is an urgency to prevent the next horrendous incident. (05:10–05:18)

CLAIM
