Lawmakers warn data protection rules don’t protect key sites, including White House and CIA
Lawmakers say gaps in the rules leave 736 sensitive sites vulnerable, including the White House, Congress and CIA headquarters.
The Biden administration crafted data protection rules to block U.S. adversaries from buying commercial data from sensitive locations, but key sites like the White House and CIA headquarters were left off the list.
Lawmakers warned that the sale of Americans' location data poses a serious threat to national security, as it can reveal sensitive information exploitable for espionage.
The lawmakers urged the Trump administration to address the oversights, create a protection zone around the Washington, D.C. region, and expand the list of barred countries.
