U.S. Cyber Command

Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN), a member of the House Armed Services Committee and chairman of the influential Republican Study Committee, has written a letter to the head of U.S. Cyber Command, giving notice that it should preserve documents related to the Department of Defense’s decision to award a $750,000 contract to NewsGuard.

The U.S. launched a cyber attack against Iranian spy assets in the hours after the Islamic republic downed an American reconnaissance drone last week, according to various reports.
