Infosec pros fight ransomware, APTs, and foreign disinfo for a living. But when Trump weaponizes clearances, hollows out @CISAgov, and unleashes @DOGE as a systemic insider threat, our industry mostly chooses self‑preservation. I unpack that trap: www.hackingbutlegal.com/p/the-indust... #infosec

🚨 Trump has pardoned a former FBI counterintelligence agent who had refused to testify about his work for Oleg Deripaska and Dmitry Rybolovlev – two Russian oligarchs with direct ties to Putin’s inner circle. @bylinetimes.bsky.social @hackingbutlegal.bsky.social bylinetimes.com/2026/02/11/t... ⬇️

Three typos just in this paragraph alone and NO IOCs 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 "Multiple independaent security researchers have assessed that the threat acotor is likely a Chinese state-sponsored group, which would explain the highly selective targeting obseved during the campaign."

We have scores of men, women, and children kidnapped by government forces and we often don't know where they are or if they are safe or alive.

What happened at Quantico wasn’t just theater. It was a blueprint: punish dissent, erase DEI, police the homefront. You don’t need to agree with me. You only need to read what was said, verbatim, by the Secretary of "War" and POTUS. Then decide if this is the military you want.

You are correct when you surmise their intention to commit war crimes. They are actively committing a litany of human rights violations against their own people and I believe they intend to escalate even further. Their eugenicist policies are part and parcel of the coup. bsky.app/profile/hack...

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

It was there when I was smeared in 2020 and the many people who knew me personally for the content of my character allowed the opposition to smear a security lead on the Biden campaign as a WHITE SUPREMACIST without a word of protest.

The fear took hold long before the election. It was there when most infosec people fled Twitter after Musk purchased it and converted it to an information warfare platform. Instead of using their skills to stay and fight the Information War, everyone pretty much just fled to Mastodon and Bluesky.

Trump signs order stripping Chris Krebs of security clearance

This is fucking outrageous. Few people in the cybersecurity community more respected, or trusted, than Krebs. cyberscoop.com/trump-chris-...

They even smeared him in the EO's title. Wow.

Trump's order to have the DOJ investigate Miles Taylor and Chris Krebs:

This is the action of a stupider version of Putin. Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor are patriots who told the truth www.c-span.org/video/?c5160...

The President’s unprecedented Executive Order yesterday targeting Messrs. Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor for nothing but the exercise of their First Amendment rights is the President’s most constitutionally corrupt Executive Order to date.

Trump signed an executive order calling for the DOJ to investigate Chris Krebs, who headed the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA). All Krebs did was tell the truth about the 2020 election, including that voting machines didn’t flip votes. For that, he was fired and now investigated.

We are all Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor. It’s just a matter of time: www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

wow, everything sucks

Mark my words: The "reelection" of Donald J. Trump will come to be regarded as the most profound security failure in the history of the United States of America

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out. This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.
