How Vulnerable Are Computers to an 80-Year-Old Spy Technique? Congress Wants Answers A pair of US lawmakers are calling for an investigation into how easily spies can steal information based on devices’ electromagnetic and acoustic leaksβ€”a spying trick the NSA once codenamed TEMPEST.

Senator Ron Wyden and Rep. Shontel Brown are calling for an investigation into the vulnerability of modern computers to what the NSA calls TEMPEST: spy techniques that pick up devices' accidental electromagnetic/radio/acoustic emissions to learn their secrets. www.wired.com/story/how-vu...

Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) called the strike on a girls’ school in Minab a β€œhorror.” The attack reportedly killed 165 people, mostly children.

He rejected Secretary Rubio’s argument that the U.S. had to follow Israel into war to defend American interests. β€œI think it’s not a close call. We make foreign policy in the interests of the American people,” the Senator said.

Sen. Wyden Warns of Mass Surveillance Amid Pentagon's Fight With Anthropic "Creating AI profiles of Americans based on that data represents a chilling expansion of mass surveillance," said Wyden.

"This data broker industry is largely unregulated at the federal level, and the Department of Defense is entering into contracts to purchase such data." https://gizmodo.com/sen-wyden-warns-of-mass-surveillance-amid-pentagons-fight-with-anthropic-2000728971

On Tuesday, Wyden, Rep. Adriano Espaillat, and a group of 70 other lawmakers sent a letter to the DHS OIG urging it to once again investigate DHS’s purchase of location data. 
β€œPublic reports indicate that ICE has resumed its location data purchases, even though DHS has yet to adopt all of the recommendations from your prior review,” the letter, shared with 404 Media by Wyden’s office, reads. β€œYour 2023 report noted that there was no DHS-wide policy governing component use of commercial location data. DHS created a commercial data working group in 2022, but as of April 2023, the DHS commercial data working group had yet to issue a policy. Your office recently confirmed that this recommendation remains open.”
The letter says that ICE is β€œstonewalling” Wyden’s efforts to investigate the Webloc purchase. Wyden’s office requested a briefing on the purchase after 404 Media first revealed it, with that briefing scheduled for February 10. β€œOne day before that briefing was to take place, ICE cancelled it with no explanation and without any offer to reschedule,” the letter reads.

Today a group of ~70 lawmakers are urging the oversight body of DHS to investigate ICE's location data purchase we recently revealed. DHS previously ICE, CBP, Secret Service all used the data illegally. Letter says ICE is stonewalling congressional oversight www.404media.co/cbp-tapped-i...

Wyden accuses Trump of acting like β€˜dictator,’ says Israel’s leader should be replaced The Oregon Democrat held a town hall Saturday afternoon at Ida B. Wells High School.

An angry Sen. Ron Wyden said President Donald Trump’s decision to launch a surprise attack on Iran showed once again that Trump could not be trusted.

After Supreme Court rebuke, Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden and other Democrats call for government to refund billions in Trump tariff money The bill is unlikely to become law, but it reveals how Democrats are starting to apply public pressure on a Trump administration that has shown little interest in trying to return tariff revenues after the Supreme Court announced its 6-3 ruling on Friday.

A bill from Senators Ron Wyden, Ed Markey, and Jeanne Shaheen would order Customs and Border Protection to issue refunds within 180 days and pay interest. The bill prioritizes small businesses.

Sen. Wyden raises the alarm on potential CIA abuses Plus: The State Department is purging its X accounts. That will only make diplomacy harder

Sen. Wyden is trying to alert the public to potential CIA abuses.

The classification system and the CIA’s knee-jerk secrecy will make uncovering these activities difficult, but that shouldn’t stop us from trying.
