A 2nd #Trump admin could #weaponize existing government agencies to dismantle democracy itself.
This article is part of “Project 2025: The Plot Against #America,” a Nation special issue devoted to unpacking the right’s vast & chilling program for a 2nd Trump term.
In the section on the #DHS …there’s a plan to eliminate the ability of the agency that monitors #ElectionSecurity to prevent the spread of #disinformation about voting & #vote counting.
…Think back to Nov 2020, when #Trump was developing his #BigLie about the #election he’d lost. Trump’s false assertion the election had been characterized by “massive improprieties & fraud” was tripped up by #ChrisKrebs, who served as dir of the #Cybersecurity & Infrastructure #Security Agency (#CISA) in the DHS.
In Mandate’s chapter on the #DHS, Ken Cuccinelli writes, “Of the utmost urgency is immediately ending CISA’s counter-mis / #disinformation efforts. … #Project2025 document declares that “the entirety of the #CISA#Cybersecurity Advisory Committee should be dismissed on Day One.”
…This is just one way that Project 2025’s cabal of “experts” is scheming to thwart honest discourse about #elections & #democracy.
Ok, ich habe gestern mittag ein paar Anfragen rausgeschickt - und eine Deadline genannt, weil meine Erfahrung zeigt, dass sonst erstmal gar nichts passiert. Ich habe aber nicht gesagt, dass man mir erst dann antworten DARF. Trotzdem sind alle Antworten quasi gleichzeitig heute Abend eingetrudelt. Wie Deadline-Abhängig sind deutsche Behörden und US-Konzerne? 😂
Text kommt morgen früh :) #webex#cybersecurity
Oops, wieder in ein fremdes Webex-Meeting verirrt. 😜
Aber die Menschen nehmen es mit Humor. "Hallo, mein Name ist Eva Wolfangel, Ich recherchiere über Sicherheitslücken bei Webex Nur ganz kurzes Schweigen. Dann: "Herzlichen Glückwunsch, die Recherche scheint erfolgreich zu sein."
Artikel kommt bald - und ja: das Problem ist seit meinen beiden anderen Artikeln ... größer geworden. #cybersecurity#webex
Oh and in case there a journalists from the Netherlands in my bubble (or in yours, please share!): It might be interesting to do a follow-up to our article (which will be published tomorrow) because WebEx leaked tons of data from the Dutch government.
Feel free to contact me for further information. #webex#cybersecurity#netherlands
Please help: I am looking for a spokesperson or even better a CISO of the government of the Netherlands - ideally both. I need a quick and easy contact for an IT security related issue. The website is not helpful. #cybersecurity#netherlands
CISA's Emergency Services Sector AI Working Group has published a 1-page newsletter with some good links/references out, definitely worth a look. (link to PDF)
