Sen. Ron Wyden is warning about potential security risks in the phone network for first responders and the military, FirstNet, saying it leaves Americans vulnerable to foreign hackers.

The Oregon Democrat said hackers and foreign spies exploit flaws in the tech used by phone companies to exchange info, and he was particularly concerned about FirstNet.

A Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency official first alerted Mr. Wyden’s team to the potential cyber problem last year, according to a letter from Mr. Wyden to the leadership of the National Security Agency and CISA on Wednesday. The senator said his team learned AT&T had gathered independent audits of FirstNet but was unwilling to share them with CISA, NSA, Congress, and other federal agencies.
