CISA SAYS IT WILL RELEASE TELECOM SECURITY REPORT SOUGHT BY SEN. WYDEN TO LIFT HOLD ON PLANKEY NOMINATION

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

CISA has committed to releasing its suppressed 2022 U.S. Telecommunications Insecurity Report after Sen. Wyden blocked CISA director nominee Sean Plankey's confirmation until the document is made public. Wyden claims the report contains “shocking details” about telecom vulnerabilities that could have prevented the Salt Typhoon espionage campaign if released when written initially. The Senate passed legislation requiring the report's release within 30 days, while CISA provided no timeline beyond saying it needs “proper clearance.”
