A Tumultuous Week for Federal Cybersecurity Efforts
Summary: President Trump fired all 15 advisory committee members of the Department of Homeland Security's Cyber Safety Review Board, a nonpartisan entity established in February 2022 that had produced reports on Log4Shell, LAPSUS$, and the 2023 Microsoft Exchange Online breach, and was mid-inquiry into Chinese state-sponsored intrusions at U.S. telecommunications providers. The same week he voided a Biden executive order on AI safety and security risks, issued his own AI and cryptocurrency orders, fired at least 17 inspectors general, and TSA chief David Pekoske was fired despite overseeing cybersecurity improvements across pipeline, rail and aviation sectors.
What you should know: The CSRB was investigating Chinese state-sponsored hackers inside U.S. telecommunications providers when its entire membership was dismissed; as SANS instructor Moses Frost put it, the attackers in the phone companies will not stop because the review board has gone away.
