I've seen Chris speak several times, met him a few times, and know people that work for him. I am convinced he is an upstanding, truthful leader in our community. The political attacks must stop. <br><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ChrisKrebs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChrisKrebs</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/SentinelOne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SentinelOne</span></a></p>
AnarchoNinaAnalyzes<p>Well, if you were expecting the cybersecurity industry to respond any better to Trump using government access to target one of its firms, than Big Law did, I suspect you're going to be disappointed:</p><p><a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/us/cybersecurity-industry-falls-silent-trump-turns-ire-sentinelone-2025-04-10/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">reuters.com/world/us/cybersecu</span><span class="invisible">rity-industry-falls-silent-trump-turns-ire-sentinelone-2025-04-10/</span></a></p><p>Cybersecurity industry falls silent as Trump turns ire on SentinelOne</p><p>"Krebs' speech was followed by applause then, but Reuters found little sign of industry support for Krebs or SentinelOne as they face Trump now.</p><p>Katie Moussouris, founder of Luta Security, said she doubted the industry would publicly back SentinelOne given the White House's actions.</p><p>"I don't think it's feasible for cybersecurity companies to have a broader response on this," she said. "The risk is just too high."</p><p>Reuters contacted 33 of the largest U.S. cybersecurity companies, including tech companies and professional services firms with large cybersecurity practices, and three industry groups, for comment on Trump's action against SentinelOne.</p><p>Only one offered comment on Trump's action. The rest declined, did not respond or did not answer questions."</p><p>We kind of touched on this story already in another thread, but the short version is that Trump is using federal security clearances to damage a company called SentinelOne, for employing Chris Krebs - a former Trump official who balked at supporting Der Leader's "big lie" that the 2020 election is stolen. This is petty revenge, and a warning shot to everyone else in the industry that Trump can come after them if they displease him; but it's also about making the conspiracy theory that Joe Biden stole the 2020 election part of official regime policy and punishing anyone who disputes that with the full force of the DoJ and federal government. </p><p>On one hand, this isn't as big a story as Trump conscripting DC's biggest law firms via executive order, or the Yarvinite quest to have the regime literally seize control of higher education institutions via false claims about fighting antisemitism. What it is however, is a demonstration that Trump's success in those endeavors so far has emboldened him to extend his reach, and provided him with a successful model for how to use his power as POTUS to enforced ideological conformity, and assert direct control over portions of the private sector. As long as everyone stays silent, surrenders, or worse: openly collaborates, there's really no reason to believe he's going to stop doing this any time soon. </p><p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/ChrisKrebs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChrisKrebs</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Cybersecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cybersecurity</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/SentinelOne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SentinelOne</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/TheBigLie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TheBigLie</span></a></p>
Mike Owens<p>I believe one of the sacred responsibilities of cybersecurity practitioners is to identify and speak uncomfortable truths to those we serve, truths they sometimes would rather not hear. Only through true understanding do we advance on solid ground.</p><p>🫡 <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ChrisKrebs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChrisKrebs</span></a> </p><p>And thank you to <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://hachyderm.io/@evacide" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>evacide</span></a></span> and <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@eff" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>eff</span></a></span> for challenging the rest of us to not remain silent.<br><a href="https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/04/cybersecurity-community-must-not-remain-silent-executive-order-attacking-former" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">eff.org/deeplinks/2025/04/cybe</span><span class="invisible">rsecurity-community-must-not-remain-silent-executive-order-attacking-former</span></a></p>
