Summary
The Trump administration abruptly dismissed members of the Department of Homeland Security’s Cyber Safety Review Board (CSRB) and other advisory committees, citing resource misuse and alignment with national security priorities.
Critics, including former CSRB members, condemned the move as dangerous amidst ongoing cyber threats, such as Chinese-backed hacks on U.S. infrastructure.
The CSRB had previously earned praise for its investigations into major breaches.
Experts fear this decision disrupts critical cybersecurity efforts, while concerns grow over whether replacements will prioritize merit over political affiliation.
…What ever happened to Anonymous?
I mean, if there are altruistic hackers attempting some kind of cyber-coup, I’d expect we wouldn’t hear much about it until it happens.
