🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read. He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:

Bluesky Social

Chris Krebs has quit his job at SentinalOne to launch a legal and public relations fight against Trump and the presidential memo Trump he signed against Krebs last week. "Krebs said he understood why some have kept a low profile and tried not to further anger the president. But he said he disagreed with that approach. "I don’t think this lay-low-and-hope-this-blows-over approach is the right one for the moment we’re in."

Miles Taylor who was also targeted by Trump said "the memos targeting him and Krebs were 'punishment for dissent' and that he too planned to fight back.... 'How we respond will set the tone inevitably for how others targeted by these EOs decide to respond.”

Today I announced that I am stepping away from my position at SentinelOne. This is my decision, and mine alone. It has been a privilege to work with the incredible people at SentinelOne, and I want to express how thankful I am to the leadership team for their support. Check out the email below to read what I shared with my fellow Sentinels earlier today. In the meantime, as I said in the email, "For those who know me, you know I don’t shy away from tough fights. But I also know this is one I need to take on fully - outside of SentinelOne." So with that, let's go. Illegitimi non carborundum | 208 comments on LinkedIn

This pisses me off.

Many folks on here have been vocal about the bullshit pillory of Chris Krebs, sure.

But the big name cybersecurity firms just kowtowing to Trump indicates their own capitulation to the regime.

On their heads be it. Fuck em.

Deafening Silence From The Cybersecurity Industry

Chris Krebs affirmed the 2020 election was secure. Now he's the target of an Executive Order—and the cybersecurity industry’s silence is enabling a dangerous precedent.

Some folk may know (but others may not) about a conference named ISC (the International Security Conference) put on by SIA (the Security Industry Association)

Unlike Black Hat, DEF CON, etc, these events are focused almost exclusively on physical security: barriers, access controls, monitoring, etc.

This is my bread and butter, so naturally I was at the recent ISC West which takes place in Las Vegas. Here's a rundown of some things I saw at the show...
