Because vulnerability management has nothing to do with national security, right?

This has a CVE score of 10. The next Security Now podcast episode is going to be lit.

Literally the rest of world against these fuckers soon.

Imagine being one of the tech billionaires who Trump bankrolled and he does this- basically handing out wrenches for people to throw.

Best to take it and its 2 brothers out of their missery

On the bright side, at least our upcoming American cyberpunk dystopia is now more likely to feature a greater prevelance of lone wolf, broke, two bit hackers as a semi-viable lifestyle/'career path'...

Adds cybersecurity to resume** Finally gets hired..

Good luck, I've been trying for 2 months and I was a senior engineer.

[–] whoisearth@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 hours ago

My sense is orgs are correcting now from the over-hiring they did a few years ago. Our InfoSec department blew up over the last 5 years as did many corporations but the problem is in the boom you had, for lack of a better way to put it, a lot of morons snuck in under the auspices of "I took a course I'm a security engineer!"

Now corporations are moving on to risk mitigation which is a completely different skillset.

Sorry to hear that, i wish you positive luck in the near future!

One can only conclude that either this is the latest step in a deliberate effort to sabotage the functioning of the US (and by extension much of the west), or just another monumentally stupid idea brought to life by their limitless incompetence.

us capitalism has nowhere else to expand. its eating itself now.

You got that right.

They're Russian puppets, both things are true.

[–] Iamnotafish@lemmy.ml 22 points 7 hours ago

I suspect that the administration that asked their people to stop focusing on Russia in the cyber space is deliberately trying to weaken our security posture in relation to said country. This confirms it.

I'm half-sure Trump put price tags on everything in the WH and every time you see a stupid thing in US foreign policy (local is guided by P25), you may hear Donald's OF donation bell ring.

My money is on the second one, but who knows...

mitre also has some prime real estate adjacent to mclean metro at tysons east. probably enough for a golf course/country club if you razed everything and took the adjacent park lands.

Can't wait until I don't have to upgrade software anymore!

Part of the deal

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 11 points 6 hours ago

Yes, this will end well. I wonder how the org will evolve from this or will another country pick it up... Will be interesting to see.

[–] Endymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.org 39 points 7 hours ago

Well, this way the apartheidist will never see the bugs he's introduced into any of the systems he's broken.

Be funny if someone started a gofundme.

[–] x00z@lemmy.world 12 points 5 hours ago

Why would anybody donate and put trust into a very important service that's ran in an unreliable country?

The rest of the world will probably just take over and leave the US in the dark about useful CVEs that could be used in their cyber ops.

The Age of Fire is ending in America. The President is a Hollow working for Darkstalker Kaathe.
