senator moran: thank you. chairman simons, i heard from kansas companies about criminals who are buying words on search engines that make their fake tech support websites show up at the top of the list when someone searches for a tech product, support. these criminals run i assume complex organizations and are able to trick someone into thinking they are talking to the tech companies -- company's product support and have them provide remote access to their computers. they infect their computers with a virus and charge them hundreds of dollars to remove the virus. sometimes accessing their bank accounts as well. do you have any recommendations for me or this subcommittee as to what can be done to prevent consumers were falling victim? chairman simons: yeah. i think one of the things we focus on quite a bit is consumer utreach. so education, consumer education, to alert them to the fact these things are occurring and to watch out for them and try to avoid them. then, of course, we prosecute them when we find the

moran: senator collins. thank you, mr.: chairman. director wray, i want to follow-up on the point that was just made by my two colleagues. here are the facts as i see them. we know that the russians were relentless in their efforts to influence the 2016 campaign and to further divide and polarize our society. we know that this effort did not end with the 2016 campaign. it both preceded it and continues to this very day. third, we know that it's not just the russians, that other foreign states and other malicious actors are targeting our democratic society. there are 17 intelligence agencies and each of them seems to have a piece of this. you talked about that just now. it concerns me that there is not one agency that is in charge of the overall strategy. should that be the fbi? dir. wray: well, senator collins let me say i agree with your framing of a predicament we face in terms of the threat itself. in terms of coordination, i think the fbi has a lead role to play in aspects of that. i think the nsc plays a -- i have not found a si
