They’ve been around for a while. Threat actors are something that I want our governments to be working on stopping. If they were capable, I would say we should run a government Project Zero but I doubt anyone would do long term service for $70k/yr when they could be making 10x-100x that.

Anyway, the bombings will have to continue till we rubble our enemies.

We had a government agency working on stopping threat actors, the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency, but then DOGE ruined it. Now it’s a shell.
So the role they were fulfilling is gone entirely? What was it?
The providing guidance and standards across disparate critical infrastructure settings and also provided training, hands on keyboard support, and a lot of other services. Most of that has been significantly reduced.

CISA was NOT another agency doing nothing.
