Lawmaker: Congress is in the 'dark ages' on cybersecurity

Rep. Ted Lieu, D-Calif., is in his first term as a member of Congress, but he’s quickly gained national attention for his work on cybersecurity. The Stanford graduate is one of just four members with a degree in computer science, and he believes Congress is in the “dark ages” on certain related issues.

“With 10 being very secure and one being not, I would say about a two,” Lieu said when asked to rank how secure the average member was from hackers. “Just very basic cybersecurity protections in terms of things that members and staff should not do, we do not get very much training on, especially in terms of mobile devices.”
