Senator Ron Wyden, D-Ore., today praised news that the Senate will likely delay consideration of a flawed cybersecurity bill for at least a month, but warned that defenders of Americans' privacy must mobilize to prevent the bill from being revived this fall.

"This is a temporary victory, but any delay is a good delay when it comes to a flawed bill that threatens Americans' privacy without making our personal information any safer. The grassroots and privacy advocates deserve enormous credit for pulling CISA into the daylight and exposing its warts to the public," Wyden said. "I plan to use the next month to work with advocates to build opposition to this proposal and keep it from creeping back when the Senate returns in September."
