In another video, a stream from infamous neo-Nazi activist Baked Alaska (Tim Gionet), you can see Trump supporters inside @SenJeffMerkley's office. The Senator later posted a video of his ransacked office and reported a laptop was missing. https://t.co/UhGf7VXUzD pic.twitter.com/L4qI2czkMm

PELOSI SAYS LAPTOP WAS STOLEN FROM HER OFFICE IN STORMING OF CAPITOL WEDNESDAY

So far, hearing that cyber risks of the Capitol attack were low.

* Congress isn't one big network
* Vulnerable machines held unclassified files
* Hill leaks so much already that truly sensitive stuff is walled off
* Rioters weren't there long enough for thorough, careful access

My heart goes out to the unsung IT heroes at the Capitol tonight. My guess is they’ve never had to run asset inventory IR before - a daunting, stressful task in a tabletop exercise - and they’re running one (prob w/o a playbook) following a full on assault of the Capitol.

The trail of destruction and looting. What happened today was an assault by the domestic terrorists who stormed the Capitol, but it was also an assault on our constitution.

I’ve been saying this since the breach.

If I was Russia, I would have helped incite this online and then sent in agents to steal laptops/cell phones.https://t.co/SWtGIkWck5

Regardless of what was stolen from the Capitol offices, counterintelligence agents cannot afford to take chances.

Have a read of this if you thing the storming of the Capitol was a minor event. The cybersecurity issues that come with this event are insane. Sweeping the building for potential bugs is an endless and almost impossible task I would guess: https://t.co/p5WdTHjqWJ

Huge questions now about what the attack/breach means for the security of Congress's computer systems.....this is a huge and debilitating nightmare of a Congress already under operational strain due to COVID. https://t.co/AfIxQ3O6mB

Another stolen laptop confirmed. House Admin did remote lock computers + have told staffers to reset passwords. @RepAnnaEshoo has asked for a full investigation.
