At least 60 members of Congress from both parties have been unable to access data for weeks in the latest ransomware attack to strike the United States.
The target was iConstituent, a tech vendor that provides constituent outreach services to dozens of House offices, including a newsletter service that allows lawmakers to communicate with residents in their districts and a service to track constituent casework.

What did Nancy know and when did she know it?
When were they planning to tell Americans about this compromised security?
When does the investigation into it begin?

No, she works for them.
Hunt them down. Use our Special Forces. Summarily execute them after extracting every piece of knowledge from them about their associates.
Tar their bodies and prominently display them in various appropriate places.
These people are going to do serious damage, and not just to your family member whose medical records are destroyed or your bank account that will get wiped out.
Mark my words. They are going to seriously do damage to our country.
It is only a matter of time.
They just need to walk across the southern border, then they are protected by the Federal Government
Works for me
These people have caused me great personal pain and loss of sleep.
There was a hospital near me that got hacked and paid the ransom.
Give me a baseball bat, and I would start with their hands.
