Senator Ron Wyden is among the legislators who wrote to the NSA.
In light of the recent SolarWinds supply chain hack on government agencies and others, 10 Democratic lawmakers are asking the National Security Agency to explain why it apparently did not take action after the 2012 Juniper Networks supply chain hack to help prevent similar attacks.
In a recent letter to NSA, the lawmakers state: “The American people have a right to know why NSA did not act after the Juniper hack to protect the government from the serious threat posed by supply chain hacks. A similar supply chain hack was used in the recent SolarWinds breach, in which several government agencies were compromised with malware snuck into the company’s software updates.”
