After a hacker broke into the Arizona Secretary of State’s election website, the state’s U.S. senators are asking the U.S. Department of Homeland Security what kind of election cybersecurity support it’s offering state and local governments.
Sens. Ruben Gallego and Mark Kelly, both Democrats, sent a letter Friday to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem telling her it was “deeply troubling” to hear from Arizona officials that they no longer trust the department’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency to help them during cyberattacks, because of the administration’s recent cuts and changes to the agency.
