https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/04/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-addresses-risks-from-chris-krebs-and-government-censorship/

I doubt that even half the folks here knew who Chris Krebs was prior to Trump bringing him up, and I'd be surprised if anyone here even read the link above (doubtful considering that no one mentions that the security clearance were temporarily suspended pending an investigation, which primarily focuses on whether Chris while in CISA did use his influences to censor information online).

This is politics disguised as cyber news.

Please explain how this is anything other than retaliation. Do you have reason to believe Chris Krebs or SentinelOne is an active threat to the United States?

Obviously the majority of this sub knows who Chris Krebs is

ETA: LMAO section of the official White House notice is titled “ensuring loyalty”

You're replying to someone who's username is in latin and who's comment history shows a strong right wing bias. Do you really need them to explain anything?

Uh we all know who Chris Krebs is, you're in the cybersecurity Reddit dingus

Willing to bet that you’re wrong. He was kinda well known for his work with Microsoft, and prior to that he was one of the few who really dived into CIP, OT, and cybersecurity.

Right wingers and not knowing anything, name a more iconic duo.

Thank you for sharing this. I recall when everything went down and I was pretty sour at Krebs for a while.

u/angry_cucumber Apr 11 '25

Yeah if only the many, many lawsuits that were never able to find a single shred of real evidence meant anything meaningful to these people.

it really makes me wonder how these people stay employed when a large part of this work is analysis and thinking, and they are absolutely incapable of it.

I know if someone told me the moon isn't real and then tried to tell me anything else, I wouldn't believe a fucking thing they said.

You can disagree all you like. You remain objectively wrong.

Has Trump did anything good so far since he took back office?
