Jamie Raskin asks if CISA automatically shares ransomware incident reports with FBI and USSS. Wales says CISA almost always coordinates with FBI and USSS, especially when directly engaging with a victim organization. — PolitiTweet.org

Classic congressional hearing moment: Using precious time, Andy Biggs asks a question that's already been answered (re: Kaseya decryption key). Vorndran says he's already answered the question but can do so again if Biggs wants. Biggs asks him to do so. — PolitiTweet.org

Andy Biggs asks Inglis about cyber deterrence work. Inglis: "Over the last few weeks or months, you have seen some evidence that [efforts] are beginning to succeed...It's not unlike climate change, which is decades in the making &...can't be turned around in a fortnight." — PolitiTweet.org

@MiddleEastEye But the hackers got smarter between their 2020 and 2021 watering-hole campaigns, according to ESET. They configured their malicious code to scan victims' computers and look for specific targets before deploying. This prevented researchers from acquiring the malware to analyze. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
These watering-hole attacks spoofed websites of Yemen’s parliament & interior ministry, Iran’s foreign ministry, Syria’s electricity ministry, @MiddleEastEye, and Hezbollah-linked TV channels. Fake sites delivered malware that exploited web browser vulnerabilities. — PolitiTweet.org

In research being presented today at @CYBERWARCON, ESET experts say an IP address linked to Candiru in a recent @citizenlab report has ties to two of the malicious domain names in the watering-hole attacks. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
New: The hackers behind a watering-hole campaign against targets in the Middle East may be using software from the Israeli spyware firm Candiru, recently targeted by U.S. export restrictions, according to @ESET: https://t.co/2GZkEHbQYq — PolitiTweet.org

Ralph Norman asks Inglis what the Biden admin has done to pressure Russia to crack down on hackers. Inglis' list doesn't satisfy him. “Just more words," he says. "You gave words, but you didn't have any specifics. It's just asking, it’s pleading with them." — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Inglis adds: "If you were to act in the very first instance, you might then expose your knowledge of what's happening, allow the criminal to escape, to take their accesses to various other customers that haven't yet been sprung, and to spring them at some later time." — PolitiTweet.org

Vorndran: "We took an extensive process to develop a safe and effective way to deploy that decrypter key to the victims." — PolitiTweet.org

Comer asks Vorndran about the FBI's decision not to immediately share the decryption key for the ransomware used on Kaseya and its clients. Vorndran says the government had to balance long-term vs. short-term cybersecurity goals. — PolitiTweet.org

FBI Cyber Division chief Bryan Vorndran, on cyber incident reporting legislation: “I can't stress enough the importance of the FBI receiving full and immediate access to cyber incidents so we can act on them as soon as possible and in unison with our federal partners at CISA.” — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Wales: “Given the importance of visibility into the true size and scope of cyber threats facing us, I urge Congress to move quickly on the urgent priority of adopting incident notification legislation.” — PolitiTweet.org

CISA Executive Director Brandon Wales says the recently launched https://t.co/rPlsd2Q6n0 site "has had more than 45,000 page views, and our ransomware readiness assessment tool has been downloaded nearly 15,000 times." — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Delivering his opening remarks, @ncdinglis says “the Biden administration supports legislative efforts to require cyber incident reporting — to include ransomware payments — to both the FBI and CISA.” — PolitiTweet.org

Comer asks to interrupt Connolly, but as he begins talking, Maloney says it's time to get back on topic. "Mr. Connolly has the time, he has worked hard on this issue, and he's absolutely right that we should focus on the purpose of this hearing." — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
"I find the word chutzpah, is appropriate at this moment," Gerry Connolly says of Comer's attacks on the Biden administration, given what he calls Republicans' lack of oversight of the Trump administration. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Maloney responds to Comer, noting job creation and unemployment level. All this at a cyber hearing. Sort of a great metaphor for how cyber is often sidelined by higher-profile partisan issues. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Ranking member James Comer begins his opening statement by asking for more details about the FBI email system hack over the weekend, but then spends the rest of his statement hitting Biden over "radical left-wing policies," BBB spending, inflation, and illegal immigration. — PolitiTweet.org

“We cannot afford to let up on our efforts to ensure coordination of anti-ransomware efforts across the entire federal government and between the public and private sector," Maloney says. — PolitiTweet.org

“We are at a tipping point," House Oversight chair Carolyn Maloney says. "Cyberattacks have become more common and potentially more damaging." — PolitiTweet.org

The House Oversight Committee is about to convene a hearing on ransomware attacks with @ncdinglis, CISA's Brandon Wales, and FBI's Bryan Vorndran: https://t.co/QKhmCnQM83 Ahead of the hearing, House Oversight has released a staff memo on recent attacks: https://t.co/eCrEmmxbDt https://t.co/dnhwKpejTn — PolitiTweet.org

Krebs' legacy as CISA's first director has made him a darling of the cyber industry. For example, he just received this bomber jacket after speaking at @CYBERWARCON. https://t.co/P41c6Mv29b — PolitiTweet.org

A year after Krebs' firing, CISA is on firmer footing and playing a key role in the implementation of Biden's sweeping cyber EO. Just this morning, CISA released EO-mandated "playbooks" to guide agencies' responses to vulnerabilities and cyberattacks. https://t.co/7xfgssfv9A — PolitiTweet.org

@CISAgov Two years and one day after creating CISA (i.e. one year ago tomorrow), Trump fired CISA's director, @C_C_Krebs, for debunking his election fraud lies, throwing CISA into the partisan Trump-era turmoil that it had successfully avoided since its creation. https://t.co/G2MIfHlpBp — PolitiTweet.org
