Bill overview
This bill directs the President, through the Secretary of Defense and the Director of National Intelligence, to develop strategies for identifying and addressing stolen sensitive data and classified information held by foreign entities. Specifically, it focuses on determining if the data was encrypted, whether it’s been decrypted, and then outlining approaches for destruction, manipulation, or recovery, prioritizing actions that align with U.S. economic and national security interests. The legislation also requires a report to Congress detailing these strategies and any subsequent actions taken.
