FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
WASHINGTON - Today, Congressman Ted W. Lieu (D | Los Angeles County) issued the following statement regarding new guidance by the Department of Health and Human Services on how to respond to the threat of ransomware attacks.
Today, Congressman Lieu questioned the validity of the House Oversight Committee Republicans' decision to hold an "emergency" hearing regarding the#FBI investigation of Secretary #Clinton's use of a personal email server.
A bipartisan duo of Congressmen sent a letter to the Department of Health and Human Services, making specific breach notification and response recommendations for upcoming ransomware guidance planned by HHS' Office for Civil Rights, noting that ransomware attacks are "different" from other data breaches.
Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) downplayed the damage done by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s mis-handling of classified information on her private email server, as FBI director James Comey testified at the House Oversight Committee on Thursday.
Rep. Lieu asked the director to “do a little bit of math here. One percent of 30,000 emails would be 300 emails, is that right?” Comey replied, “I think that’s right.”
The HHS Office for Civil Rights, which enforces the HIPAA privacy and security rules, is developing guidance on how to react to a ransomware attack, and two members of Congress have chimed in with their own ideas.
