Congresswoman Shontel Brown and Senator Ron Wyden request a GAO investigation into vulnerabilities from side-channel surveillance attacks.<\/p>\n

Quiver AI Summary<\/h2>\n

Bipartisan Call for Investigation:<\/strong> Congresswoman Shontel Brown (OH-11) and Senator Ron Wyden (OR) have sent a letter to GAO Acting Comptroller General Orice Wiliams Brown. They are urging an investigation into potential vulnerabilities related to “side-channel” attacks, which exploit signals leaking from electronic devices, jeopardizing national security.<\/p>\n

Concerns Raised:<\/strong> Both legislators express that the federal government has inadequately addressed this surveillance technique, risking public security and privacy. Previous studies on this topic date back decades but did not adequately assess the effectiveness of protective measures against such threats.<\/p>\n

Request for Further Action:<\/strong> The letter emphasizes the urgent need for the GAO to determine the extent of the threat, evaluate current government defenses, and explore ways manufacturers can implement countermeasures to enhance public security against such attacks.<\/p>\n
