Because vulnerability management has nothing to do with national security, right?
The EU needs to start planning now (well, really, needed to start planning in 2016) to replace every critical system that relies in any way on the US government.
If you think of money invested vs. return on government programs like this, the benefit is incredible. That it’s being discontinued is obvious proof that the US is run by the agents of its own destruction and cannot be relied upon in any way: not as a supplier of military equipment, or information technology, or economic codependency.
This has a CVE score of 10. The next Security Now podcast episode is going to be lit.
Literally the rest of world against these fuckers soon.
Imagine being one of the tech billionaires who Trump bankrolled and he does this- basically handing out wrenches for people to throw.
get well soon, uncle sam
Best to take it and its 2 brothers out of their missery
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’…
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.
us capitalism has nowhere else to expand. its eating itself now.
I’ve been having this feeling for a while now, and not just with the US
this is the latest step in a deliberate effort to sabotage the functioning of the US
You got that right.
They’re Russian puppets, both things are true.
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.
My money is on the second one, but who knows…
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.
Adds cybersecurity to resume** Finally gets hired…
Good luck, I’ve been trying for 2 months and I was a senior engineer.
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.
Sorry to hear that, i wish you positive luck in the near future!
Can’t wait until I don’t have to upgrade software anymore!
Ruzza just creamed their pants
North Korea too. Big win for them
Part of the plan
Part of the deal
Well, this way the apartheidist will never see the bugs he’s introduced into any of the systems he’s broken.
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.
Be funny if someone started a gofundme.
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.
The Age of Fire is ending in America. The President is a Hollow working for Darkstalker Kaathe.
We shouldn’t all have to deal with this alone
Oh crap
