Hurd Statement on Administration’s Response to Russian Hacking

San Antonio, TX – Texas Congressman Will Hurd issued the following statement regarding the new sanctions against Russia announced by the Obama administration:

“Months ago I called for this administration to respond to Russia's malicious cyber-attacks on American organizations by showing their ambassador to the door. While these sanctions took too long to be put into place, they are an important step in showing Russia and other adversaries that we will not allow these kinds of attacks to go unanswered. There is more we can do to keep American organizations and agencies safe from these cyber-attacks and I will continue to work with my colleagues in Congress and the new administration to ensure that our cyber domain is fortified."
