The Port of Longview was recently victimized by a cyber attack that may have affected hundreds of past and current employees and dozens of vendors.

As a matter of opinion, I am tired of seeing entities engage law firms so that they can decline to reveal details and shield them as “privileged.” There needs to be an exception for matters of significant public concern, and a foreign attack on a port should qualify for needing public disclosure. Or at least a Congressional investigation and inquiry – if we had a Congress that could actually investigate anything without turning things into a partisan circus.
