@zackwhittaker this of course is one of those things that the security community has been trying to get ANYONE to care about for years and years and years.
it's one of those ....... we don't want to tell people what they're feeling, but if that were an issue we'd personally worked on, we'd be so deeply sad to have been right.

@zackwhittaker No one answered at CISA because no one works there anymore. It was gutted because CISA was obviously an agent of the Biden administration to embarrass Trump. Or did Biden do that too...somehow after his term ended
