Yes, this will end well. I wonder how the org will evolve from this or will another country pick it up... Will be interesting to see.
Oh my God, and then I think of all the hundreds of thousands of veterans who voted for Trump. You did a great job.
Terrifying. Unfortunately it’s difficult to explain to laypeople why the CVE system is so important. Our nation’s leaders certainly won’t get it. Hopefully the experts are able to get through to them when it’s time to renew again. And maybe we can reduce our government dependence a bit by then.
We need a alterntive that doesn't rely on the U.S.A it can be from any country
So either the EU steps up and funds them until the administration tariffs the EU until they stop.
Or we rely on the big tech companies to step up and fund them and risk pissing off the administration.
Honestly the only way I see them coming back is either up root their lives and move to the EU with a funding guarantee, or the EU just sets up their own program.
Be funny if someone started a gofundme.
Why would anybody donate and put trust into a very important service that's ran in an unreliable country?
The rest of the world will probably just take over and leave the US in the dark about useful CVEs that could be used in their cyber ops.
😳 Is the program entirely funded by the US government?
What can EU and other governments/businesses do about this? Or what are they doing?
Yet another great decision by our benevolent leadership
Oh, there goes the majority of the cybersec vulnerability disclosure space
This is the platform most of the world uses to keep track of publicly known vulnerabilities
