Senate Budget Committee Ranking Member Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, speaks at a hearing at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, May 4, 2023. **FILE**Sen. Charles E. Grassley has opened an investigation into the hack of America’s top domestic cyber agency which exposed a tool the U.S. government used to maintain information from facilities with chemicals that terrorists could turn into weapons.
CISA is the federal agency tasked with cybersecurity and coordinating security for America’s critical infrastructure, which includes such things as transportation, power, water systems, financial services and chemical facilities. Many details about the cyberattack remain unclear, however, including who was responsible for the hack and fuller information on potential victims and damage. CISA said in June it found no evidence of stolen data, but also published notification letters warning prospective victims about the breach in English and translated the notification into nine additional languages.
He expressed frustration about CISA’s answers in April to his earlier questions about securing critical infrastructure and fretted that the cyber officials appeared to place the “prioritization of misinformation and disinformation over the protection of our nation’s critical infrastructure.” CISA did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Wednesday. The agency is planning to hold a webinar for stakeholders next week to discuss the hack of its tool.
