US Cyber Agency Puts Election Security Staffers Who Worked With the States on Leave https://www.securityweek.com/us-cyber-agency-puts-election-security-staffers-who-worked-with-the-states-on-leave/

@percepticon so the people responsible for securing elections in the US are on administrative leave now…

By now, anyone who isn’t speaking as if the US was a democracy (in the past tense) is severely misinformed.

In trying to make sense of the #wrecking ball that is #ElonMusk and Trump’s #DOGE, helpful to think about Evil Housekeeper Problem. It’s a principle of #computersecurity roughly stating that once someone is in your hotel room with your laptop, all bets are off. Because the intruder has physical access, you are in much more trouble. And the person demanding to get into your #computer may be standing right beside you. #natsec #security #IT #networks technologyreview.com/2025/02/0 #CFPB #financialsystem
