Three House Democrats introduced a bill Wednesday prohibiting the U.S. from forming a collaborative cybersecurity initiative with Russia.

The No Cyber Cooperation with Russia Act, brought by Reps. Brandon Boyle (D-Pa.), Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) and Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.), echoes a number of amendments to the National Defense Authorization Act that also sought to prohibit such cooperation with Russia.

The bill is in response to a proposal floated by President Trump.

Names and phone numbers of millions of Verizon customers were made available on a publicly accessible storage area owned by one of the company's vendors, according an enterprise security software company that discovered the exposed data.

"Anyone entering a URL in a browser would have been able to access it," said Dan O'Sullivan, cyber-resilience analyst with UpGuard, the Mountain View, Calif., company that found the data.

As many as 14 million U.S.-based Verizon customers have had their data exposed by a partner of the telecommunications giant, which misconfigured a repository storing the personal information it had access to.
