Agency tries to save face as it also pulls essential funding for #electionsecurity
Former CISA employee #ChristopherChenoweth, senior pentester, said via LinkedIn he and more than 100 others had government contracts terminated on Feb 28, as ordered by Musk's #DOGE. He said this comprised his entire red team and all support roles, and March 5 a second #redteam tasked with "mission-critical work" was also cut.
