发布于 1 月 23 日

Summary: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has terminated all members of advisory committees, including the Cyber Safety Review Board which was investigating a major Chinese hack of US telecom firms. Acting Secretary Benjamine Huffman's memo stated it was to eliminate resource misuse and prioritize national security. The board's members included private sector security experts and government officials and had previously investigated Microsoft Exchange Online and the Salt Typhoon hack. Some claim this is a gift to Chinese spies, while others worry about Trump loyalists being appointed. DHS is said to have dismissed other advisory boards as well. A Democratic lawmaker criticized the move, and the DHS statement emphasized not tolerating committees that undermine national security. Republican lawmakers have also criticized CISA. Freelance reporter Eric Geller reported on the memo and a former board member's view.
