FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Los Angeles – Congressman Ted W. Lieu issued the following statement regarding the recent bomb threats to Jewish Community Centers and the increase in anti-Semitic acts across the nation:
Twitter is President Trump's megaphone, allowing him to share his unfiltered thoughts in real time with the entire world, but what could happen if someone hacked his account?
Experts say a hack and some unauthorized tweets could lead to all sorts of chaos, including profiteering and causing mayhem on the world stage.
As recently as yesterday, President Trump sent a tweet using his old, unsecured Android phone.
Representative Ted Lieu, a congressman from Los Angeles County, California, led fourteen other House Democrats on Friday in urging the House Government Oversight Committee to investigate "troubling reports" of President Donald Trump's apparently poor security practices and the potential danger to national security posed by them—including his continued use of an unsecured Android device to post
California Democratic Congressman Ted Lieu on Friday asked the House Oversight Committee to launch an investigation into President Donald Trump's use of an insecure Android smartphone.
Democratic members of Congress are formally asking the House Oversight Committee to look into allegations of lax security practices in the Trump Administration.
Remember the unsecured Android handset that newly minted President Trump gave up, but then apparently didn't actually give up?
President Donald Trump may still beusing an unsecure Android smartphone, much to the chagrin of security professionals and at least one congressman, who is now calling for an investigation into the President's devices and cybersecurity practices.
It was revealed late last month that President Donald Trump had refused to give up his old Android phone.
President Trump is still using his trusty old Android phone for early morning tweet storms — and California Congressman Ted Lieu wants to put a stop to it. That's because consumer-grade Android phones, especially if they're dated like the one that Trump is reportedly using, can easily be hacked.
