Trump’s Cybersecurity Blunders: A Recipe for Disaster or Just the Beginning?
We almost lost the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database, but that’s just the appetizer in Trump’s cybersecurity buffet. With cuts, confusion, and conspiracies, it’s a comedy of errors that leaves everyone guessing—and not in a good way. Who knew dismantling national cyber defenses could be so… efficient?
Hot Take:
Looks like the Trump administration is playing a game of cybersecurity Jenga, and spoiler alert: they’re pulling out all the wrong blocks. When you’re relying on the same team that seemingly wants to colonize Greenland to handle your nation’s cybersecurity, it’s time to invest in a really good tinfoil hat.
Key Points:
- The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database almost became obsolete due to lack of funding.
- Significant staff cuts at CISA and the dismissal of key cybersecurity figures have weakened US cyber defenses.
- Cybersecurity advisory bodies, like the Cyber Safety Review Board (CSRB), have been dismantled.
- Trump’s executive order shifts cybersecurity responsibilities to state and local levels.
- Internal threats loom as sensitive data may have been exposed to unauthorized parties.
