Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) wants details on rogue use of cell-tracking Stingray devices before he’ll confirm a new cybersecurity leader at the Department of Homeland Security.
Wyden notified Congress on May 9 that he is objecting to the confirmation of Christopher Krebs as undersecretary of the National Protection and Programs Directorate until DHS makes public the details of a presentation given to Congress in February on the use of unauthorized cell-site simulators found in the nation’s capital.
