I Spent 20 Years at the FBI Chasing These Criminals. Here's What Needs to Change.
Cynthia Kaiser, a former FBI official now at Halcyon, testified to Congress on addressing ransomware threats, advocating for terrorism designations, homicide charges for attackers causing deaths, and enhanced enforcement against those targeting healthcare facilities. Her testimony draws on two decades of FBI experience pursuing cybercriminals and reflects growing concern about escalating ransomware impacts on critical infrastructure.
Why it matters: Healthcare providers and hospital administrators need to monitor regulatory and legal changes; prosecutors and law enforcement should track whether Congress acts on enhanced charging authorities and designations that could reshape ransomware consequences.
