Revising the bill is part of a highly contentious process more commonly referred to as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dni.gov\/files\/icotr\/FISA%20Amendments%20Act%20QA%20for%20Publication.pdf\" title=\"\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\">Section 702<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The committee used the April 27 report as an opportunity to reassert its suggestion to modify FISA earlier this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGiven the difficulty in attributing a specific cyber actor, the lines between independent hacker and government cyber operator are often blurred,\u201d the report states. \u201cU.S. adversaries are consistently attempting to obfuscate their identity and location in order to evade detection. Unfortunately, current national security authorities are inadequate to counter the growing cyber threat.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The report notes that this proposed change, which required an addition to the law\u2019s \u201cforeign power\u201d definition, didn\u2019t make the final proposal given \u201cconcerns that such a designation would dilute <span class=\"js-paste-start-Y5KN67EDSZBHHC4TU3QLQQDHIY\"> the key distinction between two different legal purposes: intelligence collection and law enforcement.\u201d<span class=\"js-paste-end-Y5KN67EDSZBHHC4TU3QLQQDHIY\"> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The committee noted that while this concern is understandable, it fails to account for the changing threat environment as exemplified by Russia\u2019s attempts to interfere in the U.S. election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAdding this new entity to the definition of \u2018foreign power\u2019 would permit the IC to target international cyber groups without having to connect that group to a foreign government or terrorist organization, so long as the cyber entity is threating US. national security or defense,\u201d the report said. \u201cSuch an addition provides the IC with much needed flexibility and will help keep the United States ahead of its adversaries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This could mean hacking collectives or groups threatening U.S. security would then fall under the surveillance law\u2019s purview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The NSA has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nsa.gov\/news-features\/press-room\/press-releases\/2017\/nsa-stops-certain-702-activites.shtml\" title=\"\" class=\"\">noted in the past<\/a> that Section 702, among other things, is used to fight cyberthreats; however, little detail on that point has been provided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cODNI admits today that they are using section 702 for \u2018cybersecurity.\u2019 That is a topic that the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board did not study. We do not know anything about how selectors are chosen for cybersecurity, or what the resulting database of information looks like,\u201d Jennifer Granick, Surveillance and Cybersecurity Counsel at the ACLU\u2019s Project on Speech, Privacy and Technology, wrote in a post for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justsecurity.org\/40391\/todays-odni-section-702-news\/\">legal blog Just Security<\/a> in
