The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA) is supposed to protect U.S. computer infrastructure from foreign
attacks. After the 2020, election, Donald Trump asked CISA to produce evidence that the election was hacked and he won.
The agency concluded that it wasn't hacked and he didn't win. So he thanked the director and moved on. He didn't
like that report and fired the director.
In Trump v2.0, he has had two acting CISA directors, neither confirmed by the Senate and he has cut CISA's budget drastically. He has a pretty good memory for some things. So everything is now running smoothly?
Well, no. It has been discovered that the agency's secret keys, which allow anyone who knows them to log into secure government sites, have been lying around in plaintext (i.e., not encrypted) on a widely used public server. It is not know who might have found and used them and seen all manner of top secret information. This is not a good thing.
If you want to get into the weeds on this, this article has more detail. (V)
