That's0:05according to a member of the committee0:06himself, Representative Raja0:08Krishnamoorthi. Krishnamoorthi says the0:10committee has not yet received a0:12briefing on the breach. At the same0:14moment that he claims the federal0:16government is cutting funding for the0:18very agencies meant to defend against0:20these attacks. The congressman's0:21warnings point to a contradiction. The0:23executive branch prosecutes a war0:25against Iran. But the legislative0:27branch's own intelligence committee has0:29not been told whether the homeland has0:30already been struck through the digital0:32battlefield. And the agencies built to0:34defend that battlefield are, according0:35to Krishnamoorthi, losing funding.0:37Krishnamoorthi pointed to Russia's0:39recent cyber attack on private industry0:41in the UK that caused billions in damage0:44and warned that both China and Iran0:46possess similar offensive cyber0:47capabilities. Neither DHS, CISA, nor the0:50White House has publicly confirmed the0:51water utility breach or responded to0:53Krishnamoorthi's claim that their0:55budgets are being reduced. And the House0:57Intelligence Committee has not announced0:59when or whether it will receive the1:00briefing Krishnamoorthi says it is owed.Explore with HeyDexThe shortThe short ↗
