I am so fucking pissed about this Chris Krebs situation, I can barely put two salient words together. I stand with the EFF.

Blog post incoming with my plans, or what I can talk about publicly. Well, @codinghorror, you asked me to write more. I'm sorry it's not on a more optimistic note.

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...

Trump’s retribution sends a chilling message to dissenters

Donald Trump’s White House has a threatening message for anyone who might even be perceived to disagree with the president: Don’t. Or else.

@Sempf So sad to see. All these years of being told why we had the 2nd Amendment. Here is the Tyranny, and they're all like, ummm, nah, we're good. Got a bone spur and shit ...

@Sempf how can I help?

@codinghorror Right now, please watch your back. You aren't quite as high profile as Chris, but you are close. Use Signal, use Tor.

For the rest, I'll be in touch.

And thank you. You helped light a fire under my ass.

@Sempf @codinghorror Krebs ... I can only dream of aspiring to be like him. It is sad to see one of the most respected people in the industry being treated like this simply because he refused to back a lie. Everyone thought the cheeto colored cockwomble was joking about taking revenge. That is all the "man" lives for ... that and money, power, and obedience. He truly is a danger to our way of life and our country.

@LurkingPrion @codinghorror Cockwomble is new to me, you win the internet for the day.

But, no, I knew he wasn't kidding. I knew he wasn't kidding about any of it. Toilet flushes, gulags, fucking over allies, I knew he was serious. I only wish I'd started shouting sooner.

@Sempf @codinghorror Staying out of politics is the most political move one can make. Companies forget it again and again…
