Because vulnerability management has nothing to do with national security, right?

In an 11th-hour reprieve, the US government last night agreed to continue funding the CVE program.
Not sure how much more whiplash I can take…
They want us to all tune out. This is all by design so we don’t know what’s real or not anymore, then they can get away with even more and nobody will care.
This is what they’ve been doing for years and years, this is just more of the same.
I’m not sure about “they” the US government, but it’s absolutely a Russian/ Authoritarian state playbook.
Oh absolutely 100% this has had foreign involvement, the KGB handbook (literally) describes how to plant chaotic agents into a democratic nation’s population to boost both sides of every social debate or argument. The digital age made this the easiest tactic in the world and every nation that’s been “annexed” by Russia experienced this sowing of absolute weaponized bullshit and hate.
edit: several tankies follow me around downvoting my every comment and throwing tankie memes at me because they seeth when someone says that Russia did a bad thing. It’s quite charming, they can’t do much else because they’re blocked.
1000%
I think a lot of it is to get and propogate misinformation because some people won’t hear about the 180s and still talk about as if they happened
someone told them what the acronym really meant, musta thought it was an EV credit or something
Why should something of this importance be entrusted to a single government anyways, shouldn’t it be distributed/decentralized?
Are you guys free yet?
It’s because the entire administration is a vulnerability
False alarm

What a stable government
stable geniuses
I don’t think it’s a false alarm, in the sense that it is totally reasonable to be alarmed. They are cutting crucial stuff before they know what it is. There are a lot of things being cut where we’re only going to understand the impact years from now.
Sure, but there’s a limited bandwidth for people’s intake of information. This in particular is no longer a cause for alarm.
They dont want national security.
They want to steal your property and destroy the country so they can reform it in their image.
Rather they want new vulnerabilities to go right to the market and remain unknown for longer, because that makes the surveillance and other criminal activity by the government easier.

My European friends here: do whatever you can to make EUVD a viable alternative. It’s a vulnerability database led by the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity enisa. Since their website is relatively new, you can help by providing feedback though this survey. Yes, the CVE funding has been continued for another year. But a sustainable approach to vulnerability management cannot be dependent on a single government-owned / funded entity any longer! I wish the board members all the best in transferring CVE to a new umbrella organization, but now is a great time to also consider global alternatives.
Oh my God, and then I think of all the hundreds of thousands of veterans who voted for Trump. You did a great job.
Terrifying. Unfortunately it’s difficult to explain to laypeople why the CVE system is so important. Our nation’s leaders certainly won’t get it. Hopefully the experts are able to get through to them when it’s time to renew again. And maybe we can reduce our government dependence a bit by then.
😳 Is the program entirely funded by the US government?
What can EU and other governments/businesses do about this? Or what are they doing?
Yet another great decision by our benevolent leadership
Oh, there goes the majority of the cybersec vulnerability disclosure space
This is the platform most of the world uses to keep track of publicly known vulnerabilities
What the fuck is “CVE”? Cumsluts Versus Everyone?
More-or-less:
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
Basically cyber security exploit reporting.
I like my acronym better… more sugar tonight in my tea!
Have you seen the state of the IT industry? Furries and trans girls all of them. Your acronym is entirely appropriate.
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.
I have maintained for a long time that it’s pure incompetence. If they had some sort of goal they would all be in on it together but it doesn’t seem like at any time anyone in 47s cabinet actually knows what he’s doing.
They’re Russian puppets, both things are true.

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
yup, europe seems to be on that path too. i don’t think they passed the point of no return, though.
this is the latest step in a deliberate effort to sabotage the functioning of the US
You got that right.
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.
My money is on the second one, but who knows…
