So far, hearing that cyber risks of the Capitol attack were low.
* Congress isn't one big network
* Vulnerable machines held unclassified files
* Hill leaks so much already that truly sensitive stuff is walled off
* Rioters weren't there long enough for thorough, careful access
We haven’t seen any indication that they were even targeted, much less seriously attacked.
Could there have been Russian spies in the terrorist mob? Yes.
But there is no evidence for these claims. Hill IT staff will need to prioritize their response according to risk modeling.
The House and Senate’s central IT offices — which don't directly manage as much as you think — may have logs of some activity (email searches, shared drive access) but they will struggle to build a complete picture of what was opened & seen.
* Which computers auto-lock after a set time period? (Senate doesn’t have an auto-lock policy.)
* How robust is IT staff's central monitoring software?

I love a good cover story.......
The guy had a face-to-face with El Grande Trumpo himself on Air Force One just 2 days ago. Inside just about the most secure SCIF in the world.
And Trump came out of AF1 and gave ol' Rod a big thumbs up!
And so we're right back to 'that dirty rat Rosenstein!' 2 days later.
At this point it's clear some members of Congress are either in on this and helping the cover story or they haven't got a clue and are out in the cold.
Note the conflicting stories about 'Rosenstein cancelled meeting with Congress on Oct 11!"
First, rumors surfaced of a scheduled meeting on Oct. 11 between Rosenstein & members of Congress, and Rosenstein just cancelled it.
Rep. Andy Biggs and Rep. Matt Gaetz say DAG Rod Rosenstein cancelled an Oct. 11 appearance before the judiciary and oversight committees. They are now calling for a subpoena. pic.twitter.com/TknVHKjXtd
