What makes reporting on this cyber campaign really tricky is that not everyone who installed the infected SW software update was actually targeted by the hackers afterward. Does just finding the infected update constitute being hacked? Different orgs think differently about it. — PolitiTweet.org

Russian hackers also breached Austin's computer networks, The Intercept reports, although it's a different group (critical infrastructure-focused Berserk Bear, rather than intel-focused Cozy Bear) so it's not clear if it's part of the SolarWinds operation. https://t.co/dhjR2pujhI — PolitiTweet.org

Here's a story I wrote in August about Biden's campaign laying the groundwork for an elevated cyber agenda: https://t.co/YKRKIwzRtb And here's how experts predict cyber policy will change under Biden and how it'll stay the same: https://t.co/ecS0q6KtrQ — PolitiTweet.org

Biden's statement is both very vague and the most he's said about cyber. Nothing about: * If he thinks "defend forward" is working * How his deterrence plan will differ from what Trump agencies did * How he'll treat espionage vs. destructive attacks * How he'll "elevate" cyber — PolitiTweet.org

Top Dems on House Oversight and Homeland Security committees say they've launched an investigation into the suspected Russian cyber campaign, request damage assessments ASAP from Trump officials, and reveal they're getting a classified briefing tomorrow. https://t.co/KAJZ4P97wg https://t.co/T2DmnqRfjn — PolitiTweet.org

Biden promises to "elevate cybersecurity as an imperative across the government," with better private-sector ties, more infrastructure and personnel funding, & improved deterrence in partnership with allies. "I will not stand idly by in the face of cyber assaults on our nation." — PolitiTweet.org

"Even as the Electoral College this week confirmed Joe Biden’s victory, interviews with more than two dozen GOP state and local chairs and [RNC] members reflect a party that, far from reassessing its embrace of Trumpism, is hell-bent on more of the same." https://t.co/3951mk57hk — PolitiTweet.org
