DHS Contracts - Distributed Denial of Secrets

Details on ICE and DHS contracts with over 6,000 different entities ranging from private businesses to government agencies and even dozens of universities. Some of the notable firms include Anduril, H…

@micahflee The Linux Foundation got half a million dollars from ICE contracts.
@manchicken @micahflee looks like it was from the DHS overall (not ICE specifically), lasted from 2017-2018, and the funds were used to improve the security of OSS in general. Unless I’m missing more context, not exactly a bad thing imo
@phillip @micahflee I do hope that's true. It would be disappointing to see any organization doing business with DHS/ICE since they made it plain how they have chosen to operate.
@manchicken @micahflee that’s what it says in the leaked contract files
@phillip @micahflee Yeah; I do think it's important to note that we don't actually have the full data set from what I can tell. We _should_ have the full data set, these contracts _should_ be public.

@phillip @manchicken @micahflee "CII is a private sector solution" in the Linux foundation..

"This funding would include a DHS representative holding a voting seat on the CII Steering Group"

Does this mean current DHS has a seat on a Linux Foundation entity?

@vwbusguy @manchicken @micahflee No, the DHS does not have a voting seat with the Linux Foundation. The CII Steering Group is a sub-project of the Linux foundation that accepts monetary donations, then doles them out to open source projects in need.

So the DHS has (or had maybe?) a voting seat to give them a say in how their donations are spent.

@phillip sure that's correct and the best type of correct. Broadly it's true that donors with money always have some kind of vote
@phillip @manchicken @micahflee Probably from CISA, which is under DHS for some reason.
