A new report from House Republicans warns that the terror threat to the United States remains 'alive and persistent,' highlighting vulnerabilities in national security. The report emphasizes that America's defenses are in a 'state of disrepair,' with a notable increase in extremist cases across the country. Representative Mark Green stated that foreign terrorist organizations are emboldened by recent national security failures and continue to recruit and radicalize individuals within the U.S. The report calls for U.S. security agencies to adapt their strategies to better confront threats posed by groups such as ISIS and al-Qaeda. Additionally, cyber threats are escalating, with the FBI reporting $12.5 billion in cybercrime losses for 2023, a nearly 20% increase from the previous year, and a 74% rise in ransomware attacks affecting one in three Americans.
