The chairman and ranking member of the Senate Finance Committee on Thursday requested an urgent briefing to discern whether the SolarWinds hack that affected many federal government agencies also compromised taxpayers’ personal data.
Sens. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa), and Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) sent a letter (pdf) to IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig to ask him to come and update the committee about whether private taxpayer information was stolen by hackers.
