The software that he sold to a Russian broker was highly sensitive and put US national security at risk. The theft created a financial loss of $35 million for L3 Harris and impacted customers, including the US and allied governments.

Previous code breaches of government-grade hacking and surveillance tools from the NSA have reverberated for years.

Would these products and services be covered under existing US cyber regulations, warranting their security? Citing FISMA and CMMC?
