Investigators continue to probe last week s violent storming of the U.S. Capitol. The insurrection left in its wake a potential information security nightmare. The U.S. Justice Department has said that the event may have a “national security” impact, and it s still cataloging the records and devices that may have been stolen after insurgents looted lawmakers offices.
Cybersecurity expert Brian Honan says that every unattended electronic device, including computers and phones, must now be treated as having potentially been compromised (see:
