This doesn’t bode well. Maybe the site is down because so many people are trying to access it? She said, hopefully.

Is that today’s “major infrastructure announcement”?

I don’t know, but it’s stupid enough to seem likely.

Reminds me of Radar always having Henry sign things that he didn’t know what he was signing.
The best was blank papers.

DHS has terminated the memberships of everyone on its advisory committees.
This includes several cyber committees, like CISA’s advisory panel and the Cyber Safety Review Board, which was investigating Salt Typhoon.
That review is “dead,” person familiar says.
Other cyber advisory boards now kaput:
• Artificial Intelligence Safety and Security Board
• Critical Infrastructure Partnership Advisory Council
• National Security Telecommunications Advisory Committee
• National Infrastructure Advisory Council
• USSS Cyber Investigations Advisory Board
The CSRB was “less than halfway” done with its Salt Typhoon investigation, according to a now-former member.
“I’m hoping this is a pause, not the end,” this person said. "There are still professional staff for the CSRB and I hope they will continue some of the work in the interim.

This morning I was talking to my mother and she said, about Trump getting elected, “It’s like a bad dream I keep expecting to wake up from.” I realized I feel the same way. The first Trump election felt surreal to some degree for four years, but this feels utterly unreal. Like, no one could possibly have voted for the guy after the last time. That’s just not something that could happen, any more than the US would elect a hamster as president. So obviously it didn’t happen.
This sense of unreality may be the only thing that keeps me sane (at least until my life is totally destroyed by his policies).

I hadn’t heard of Salt Typhoon but based on the name I figured it was an APT. They always seem to have silly names like “Muffintop Crackerwood” that could easily be the name of a rejected Hunger Games character.
Anyways, all that aside, I look at this and say what the actual fuck?

Check out the bolded part below. He fired the woman in charge and found someone to toe the line.
WASHINGTON – The Coast Guard announced immediate action on executive orders issued by the White House Tuesday.
“The U.S. Coast Guard is the world’s premiere maritime law enforcement agency, vital to protecting America’s maritime borders, territorial integrity and sovereignty,” said Adm. Kevin Lunday, the Coast Guard’s acting commandant. “Per the President’s Executive Orders, I have directed my operational commanders to immediately surge assets—cutters, aircraft, boats and deployable specialized forces—to increase Coast Guard presence and focus starting with the following key areas:
The southeast U.S. border approaching Florida to deter and prevent a maritime mass migration from Haiti and/or Cuba;
The maritime border around Alaska, Hawai’i, the U.S. territories of Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands;
The maritime border between the Bahamas and south Florida;
The southwest maritime border between the U.S. and Mexico in the Pacific;
The maritime border between Texas and Mexico in the Gulf of America;
and
Support to Customs and Border Protection on maritime portions of the southwest U.S. border.Together, in coordination with our Department of Homeland Security and Department of Defense teammates, we will detect, deter and interdict illegal migration, drug smuggling and other terrorist or hostile activity before it reaches our border.”
