Senator Ron Wyden has put a hold on the nomination of Sean Plankey to head the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) due to allegations of concealing security issues related to telecommunications. Wyden accuses Plankey of hiding crucial information about telecommunications security vulnerabilities, leading to this decision. Plankey's nomination is therefore blocked until further notice.
