Cybersecurity Community Must Not Remain Silent On Executive Order Attacking Former CISA Director

Cybersecurity professionals and the infosec community have essential roles to play in protecting our democracy, securing our elections, and building, testing, and safeguarding government infrastructure. It is critically important for us to speak up to ensure that essential work continues and that...

@evacide This EO is unjust as it's slanderous and libelous. And SCOTUS is illegitimate since they gave the fat orange fascist a level of "Immunity" which he will just hide behind by saying this is an "official act" when it's just a petty act of revenge. Chris Krebs may be a republican on the political scale but all of his work at CISA was correct and justified.

Alas, it seems S1 already dumped him - judging from the tone of the official related blog post - and other cybsec companies where Krebs worked just keep their mouth shut. Corporations are, well, just like this.

@evacide not particularly surprising given how hard it was to just get them to move to a platform other than X… it seems it’s just us and nobody is coming to save us.

@hacks4pancakes @evacide Most institutions and businesses take the easy path of appeasing the tyrant, just as they pay ransom for ransomware. Doing the right thing is inconvenient, as it often is.

@evacide If you draw an org chart, you might draw the board and C-level execs at the root of the upside tree hierarchy. That is one view of infosec community like who Reuters contacted.

The other view is to invert that org chart with threats and mitigations at the peak. Directly underneath are the analysts, researchers, coders, sysadmins, and the like. Managers below them. The chiefs, PR, marketing, and other PHBs are at the bottom.

There is a lot of unrealized power in second version. They're on social media, at conferences, in secret handshake clubs, subscribed to mailing lists, in your Signal contacts, and make data sharing relationships happen. Isn't that the real infosec community?

@evacide yeah, so they can revoke my passport and break up my family.

I wouldn't put anything past this modern-day Nazi regime.
