Scott Fitzgerald: How has the shuttering of the China Initiative affected your division’s work? Vorndran: Our workload has not changed. “We've had a lot of people dedicated to that problem over, certainly, over the past year.” — PolitiTweet.org

Joe Neguse asks what new authorities the FBI wants to fight hackers. Vorndran lists a few: RICO for cybercrimes, enhanced punishments for attacks on CI, making it illegal to sell infrastructure services to botnet operators, improving DOJ’s forfeiture authorities. — PolitiTweet.org

The FBI says the similar attachments, similar use of compromised accounts, and close timing suggest a coordinated effort, but as Matt notes, some of these characteristics are commonplace. https://t.co/YulkXFUWzr — PolitiTweet.org

@kevincollier Interesting. One thing that's not clear is whether that was targeted or just garden variety phishing.… https://t.co/1t72mqCcDK

@mattblaze @kevincollier for sure, I just think their supposition is notable — PolitiTweet.org

New FBI alert discloses examples of continuing cyber threats to election officials. Officials in at least nine states have received invoice-themed credential-theft phishing emails as part of a potential "coordinated, ongoing effort." https://t.co/7CIilTCpAB https://t.co/0tir4QWvOJ — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
@mattblaze @kevincollier FBI seems to think it's targeted: "These emails shared similar attachment files, used compromised email addresses, and were sent close in time, suggesting a concerted effort to target US election officials." — PolitiTweet.org

Tom Tiffany tries to get Vorndran to criticize the Biden administration for getting rid of the controversial China Initiative. Vorndran won't directly do so, but he doesn't exactly push back, acknowledging that China is the top cyber threat to the U.S. — PolitiTweet.org

Dan Bishop asks a few questions based on right-wing conspiracy theories about supposed surveillance of Trump through internet data. Vorndran declines to answer several questions because it’s not his portfolio. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Greg Steube tries to get Vorndran to talk about border security. He's cleverer about this than other GOP lawmakers. He argues that "Mexican cyber criminals" can be more dangerous when they cross the border to operate from within the U.S. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Mike Johnson asks Vorndran about DOJ supposedly intimidating parents who speak at school board meetings. Another Republican lawmaker using his time to ask questions that he knows Vorndran can't answer. — PolitiTweet.org

Jordan ties it together: "Do you think there's a chance Mr. Burkov's name was on the Hunter Biden laptop?" Vorndran says he has "no idea." "No idea," Jordan says. "That says it all." — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Jordan: "Sir, were you consulted?" Vorndran: "It's not an FBI investigation." Jordan: "But you're the cyber man!" — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Jordan asks about the Burkov deportation. Vorndran says he can't comment because it was a Secret Service investigation. — PolitiTweet.org

Gaetz gets unanimous consent to enter the laptop repair receipt into the record, and we're moving on. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Gaetz asks for unanimous consent to enter into the record the contents of Hunter Biden's laptop, which he claims to have on a flash drive that he's holding up. Nadler objects. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Vorndran displays remarkable patience and equanimity as he says he can't answer Gaetz's conspiratorial questions about the Hunter Biden laptop. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Nadler barely finishes saying Matt Gaetz's name before Gaetz asks Vorndran, "So where is it? The laptop?" — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Vorndran says he can't answer Ted Lieu's questions about whether the FBI has investigated any exploits of the SS7 flaws (or exploited the flaws itself) to steal cellphone data. He says everything on SS7 is classified and the FBI will try to provide a briefing. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Darrell Issa is trying to get Vorndran to criticize Biden for telling Putin that the 16 CI sectors are off-limits. Like other GOP lawmakers, he doesn't seem to realize how broad and generic that list is. He seems to think there are major assets that were left off the list. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Thomas Massie asks if the FBI has seen anyone using NSO Group's spyware in the U.S. Vorndran says he can't comment "due to classification" but raises the possibility of a private briefing. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Biggs just entered into the record a bunch of right-wing "news" articles completely mischaracterizing the critical infrastructure list. This is some of the weirdest right-wing cyber-related disinformation that I've seen so far. https://t.co/P2CVwS3MtO — PolitiTweet.org

It's a public list of pretty much all vital infrastructure in the United States! There's nothing secret or sensitive about it. Lord. — PolitiTweet.org
