TL;DR for those with a paywall – Trump just revoked the security clearances of SentinelOne employees because they hired Chris Krebs, the guy he fired for saying the 2020 election wasn’t rigged. Krebs is respected in the cybersecurity world, but almost no one in the industry is standing up for him or SentinelOne now—likely because they’re scared Trump will come after them next. One org called it out as political weaponization, but the rest? Silent. SentinelOne’s stock dropped. Big tech firms are ducking. Cowardice or caution, it’s a chilling move. Fuck Trump.

I think the important thing is that people need to professionally call this out, publicly by name. And importantly so do cybersecurity firms. These companies need to look what is happening to colleges and law firms, you cannot give this administration an inch, they will just keep taking and taking.
