Trump administration stops guarding against Russian cyber-threats

In another sign of Donnie’s capitulation to Putin, the Clown Show administration is pretending Russia isn’t a cybersecurity threat.

Trump administration retreats in fight against Russian cyber threats

The Trump administration has publicly and privately signaled that it does not believe Russia represents a cyber threat against US national security or critical infrastructure, marking a radical departure from longstanding intelligence assessments.

The shift in policy could make the US vulnerable to hacking attacks by Russia, experts warned, and appeared to reflect the warming of relations between Donald Trump and Russia’s president, Vladimir Putin.

Liesyl Franz, deputy assistant secretary for international cybersecurity at the state department, said in a speech last week before a United Nations working group on cyber security that the US was concerned by threats perpetrated by some states but only named China and Iran, with no mention of Russia in her remarks. Franz also did not mention the Russia-based LockBit ransomware group, which the US has previously said is the most prolific ransomware group in the world and has been called out in UN forums in the past. The treasury last year said LockBit operates on a ransomeware-as-service model, in which the group licenses its ransomware software to criminals in exchange for a portion of the paid ransoms.

A person familiar with the matter who spoke to the Guardian on the condition of anonymity said analysts at the agency were verbally informed that they were not to follow or report on Russian threats, even though this had previously been a main focus for the agency.

Major Rewrite's original post is correct. Digging further will establish the fact that Putin made no reciprocal commitment. Pentagon staff have been instructed not even to follow Russian moves let alone counter them. This decision was made immediately before the Trump/Vance bushwacking of Zelensky. Obviously timed to avoid coverage. If you guys follow International media at all, accusations that Trump is an agent of Russia are now commonplace. The current Trump administration is becoming a pariah which cannot be trusted by any democracy.

Is Trump really pinning his hopes and our security on pseudoscientific nonsense like "Quantum Fields of infinite energy"?!
