Chris Krebs’, President Donald Trump’s former director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, membership in Global Entry has been revoked. Krebs, who has repeatedly attested to the security of the 2020 election, told CNN he finds it hard to believe this isn’t another act of retribution from the administration.

@tinker I don't know why people are surprised by this. As a gay guy in the field, i've spent most of my career around dudes who confuse tolerance for acceptance. And after over ten years in Austin, I can tell you that there are a lot of firms that are still aggressively hostile to women. One in particular with a nasty reputation for slipping women roofies at their Friday happy hour events.
I am revolted at how they supported the leperization of #chriskrebs though. I don't expect better from #RSAC given they are a mailing list masquerading as a security conference, but I do from the actual community.
SAN FRANCISCO – The Trump Administration must cease its politically motivated investigation of former U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Director Christopher Krebs, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and dozens hundreds (see update below) of prominent cybersecurity and...
Looks like Corporate #infosec has made it's choice.
#RSAC is filled with talks embracing AI and making it "secure".
And they invited and encouraged the Trump regime to spread its disinformation - fully sanctioned and encouraged by the conference leadership(and by conference attendees who laughed at the regime's jokes and lies and issued no challenges or stands during the talk).
With the ostracization of #ChrisKrebs by industry and the full embrace of Kristi Noem as a speaker, this was the moment that infosec made its bed.
Y'all lie in it now.
⚠️ Cybersecurity community defends Chris Krebs against DOJ investigation 🛡️🗳️
Over 40 leading infosec experts — including the EFF — have signed an open letter condemning the Trump-led DOJ probe into former CISA Director Chris Krebs.
Why it matters:
💥 They see the investigation as political retaliation
🛡️ Krebs was fired after affirming the 2020 election was secure
⚖️ The move undermines trust in cybersecurity leadership
🚨 Sends a chilling signal to those protecting digital democracy
This isn’t just about Krebs — it’s about preserving truth, trust, and independence in the infosec field.
