Director Christopher Wray’s Statement on Violent Activity at the U.S. Capitol Building ow.ly/dFsX50D2CR4
Director Wray: The violence and destruction of property at the U.S. Capitol building yesterday showed a blatant and appalling disregard for our institutions of government and the orderly administration of the democratic process.
Director Wray: As we’ve said consistently, we do not tolerate violent agitators and extremists who use the guise of First Amendment-protected activity to incite violence and wreak havoc. Such behavior betrays the values of our democracy.
Director Wray: Make no mistake: With our partners, we will hold accountable those who participated in yesterday’s siege of the Capitol.
Director Wray: Let me assure the American people the FBI has deployed our full investigative resources and is working closely with our federal, state, and local partners to aggressively pursue those involved in criminal activity during the events of January 6.
Director Wray: Our agents and analysts have been hard at work through the night gathering evidence, sharing intelligence, and working with federal prosecutors to bring charges.
Director Wray: Members of the public can help by providing tips, information, and videos of illegal activity at fbi.gov/USCapitol. We are determined to find those responsible and ensure justice is served.

#FBI Director Christopher Wray participated in the World Economic Forum's cybersecurity summit today to discuss the heart of the FBI’s cyber strategy: working with government and private partners to tackle the cyber threat as a global community. @wef ow.ly/JsLN50Cmhqg Director Christopher Wray poses in front of an American flag
Wray: At the #FBI, we’ve been fighting the cyber threat for many years now. ... We’ve become known for our efforts to call out destabilizing and damaging #cyber activity by nation-state actors. But we are also particularly focused on the threat posed by cybercriminals. @wef
Wray: Just like we’ve done throughout our 112-year history of fighting crime and terrorism, our goal is to impose risk and consequences on bad actors in cyberspace—whoever and wherever they are. @wef

#FBI Deputy Assistant Director Tonya Ugoretz will provide remarks regarding the FBI’s cyber strategy at #CyberTalks today at 10:50 a.m. #NCSAM2020 @CyberScoopNews ow.ly/oUhD50BXwuT CyberTalks: A Daily Digital Experience
Ugoretz: The cyber threats we're most concerned about involve foreign actors using global infrastructure to compromise U.S. networks. It’s not the type of threat activity that any single U.S. agency or private entity [can] anticipate, detect, and respond to completely on our own.
Ugoretz: Our strategy is to impose risk and consequences on our cyber adversaries—those who for too long have believed they can compromise U.S. networks, steal U.S. financial and intellectual property, and hold our critical infrastructure at risk—all without incurring any risk.

#FBI Deputy Assistant Director Tonya Ugoretz will provide remarks regarding diversity in the cyber community at @CISAgov's Annual National Cybersecurity Summit today. You can watch at ow.ly/IW2z50BFOS6. #CISAsummit
Ugoretz: Imposter syndrome feels like being a fraud who risks being found out at any moment. It’s like having an inner voice that tells you it’s only a matter of time before you’re found out to be less capable or less qualified than people think you are.
Ugoretz: Someone who has imposter syndrome struggles to internalize and accept their success. They often attribute their accomplishments to luck rather than to ability and fear that others will eventually unmask them as a fraud.
