Trump's official denouncement of former CISA director Chris Krebs (in the form of a "Presidential Memorandum") is chilling in substance and utterly Stalinesque in tone. By threatening anyone who hires him, it aims to render Krebs effectively unemployable.
I said it then, and I will repeat it now: There is simply no evidence that the 2020 election was "hacked". Krebs's forthright clarity about this in November, 2020 was a brave and important act of public service.
100% on all of this.
In addition, knowing that anyone who attempts to speak a cybersecurity truth that disagrees with the narrative being presented by the administration could be personally and professionally destroyed means that the only people willing to work in this space will be those who are willing to accept the narrative over those truths
This creates a situation where no narratives coming from government cybersecurity representatives can be trusted
What a frackin’ mess…
