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

    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’…

        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.

    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.

      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.

      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.

    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.

      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.
