Because vulnerability management has nothing to do with national security, right?
You must log in or register to comment.
Why should something of this importance be entrusted to a single government anyways, shouldn’t it be distributed/decentralized?
Are you guys free yet?
It’s because the entire administration is a vulnerability
They dont want national security.
They want to steal your property and destroy the country so they can reform it in their image.
Rather they want new vulnerabilities to go right to the market and remain unknown for longer, because that makes the surveillance and other criminal activity by the government easier.

My European friends here: do whatever you can to make EUVD a viable alternative. It’s a vulnerability database led by the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity enisa. Since their website is relatively new, you can help by providing feedback though this survey. Yes, the CVE funding has been continued for another year. But a sustainable approach to vulnerability management cannot be dependent on a single government-owned / funded entity any longer! I wish the board members all the best in transferring CVE to a new umbrella organization, but now is a great time to also consider global alternatives.
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.
😳 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
One can only conclude that either this is the latest step in a deliberate effort to sabotage the functioning of the US (and by extension much of the west), or just another monumentally stupid idea brought to life by their limitless incompetence.
They’re Russian puppets, both things are true.

Starlink leak?!

us capitalism has nowhere else to expand. its eating itself now.
I’ve been having this feeling for a while now, and not just with the US
yup, europe seems to be on that path too. i don’t think they passed the point of no return, though.
this is the latest step in a deliberate effort to sabotage the functioning of the US
You got that right.
I’m half-sure Trump put price tags on everything in the WH and every time you see a stupid thing in US foreign policy (local is guided by P25), you may hear Donald’s OF donation bell ring.
mitre also has some prime real estate adjacent to mclean metro at tysons east. probably enough for a golf course/country club if you razed everything and took the adjacent park lands.
My money is on the second one, but who knows…
I have maintained for a long time that it’s pure incompetence. If they had some sort of goal they would all be in on it together but it doesn’t seem like at any time anyone in 47s cabinet actually knows what he’s doing.
CVE program – the centralized Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures database of product security flaws
Just in case
Edit: I’m glad I wasn’t the only one that didn’t know. When the headline reads like everyone should know I felt a little dumb for a second.
Yep, one of those things the IT department takes care of and most other people just need to know to keep their devices updated.
Thank you. I’ve never heard this acronym before, myself.
thank you i was spaghetti walling and none of my backronyms were fitting
Cannelloni-Vermicelli Exploration program? You know, to find out what happens if you mix both on the same plate? Will the Italians assassinate you before you can take the first bite? Will the pasta annihilate as soon as they touch? Will it be delicious? Who knows, and now we will never know.
Fascinating series of words I’ve never heard before
One of my favorite authors is PG Wodehouse and if I ever inadvertently phrase something like him I consider it a good day. He has 9 gazillion novels, 2 plots, and all of them are worth reading because of the way he can turn a phrase.
Spaghetti walling - I think this is another way of saying “throwing things at the wall and seeing what sticks”, my guess from the old wives tale that you can test the doneness of spaghetti by seeing if it sticks when thrown at a wall.
Backronym - an acronym that was made by first deciding what the finished acronym should be, then working backwards to decide what it should stand for. Usually used by NASA nerds to make cool sounding projects or by politicians to make evil shit sound friendly and benign.
Hey, my wife isn’t that old!
Very cool
Very legal.
Ruzza just creamed their pants
Part of the plan
Part of the deal
Art of the deal!
Fart of a deal!
North Korea too. Big win for them
…Continuously! (since Trump got in office)
On the bright side, at least our upcoming American cyberpunk dystopia is now more likely to feature a greater prevelance of lone wolf, broke, two bit hackers as a semi-viable lifestyle/‘career path’…
It shouldn’t surpris too much given Mike Pondsmith’s general record of clairvoyance that NetWatch is a European Corp.
And, no, “Vos videmus” totally isn’t a creepy motto. Based out of London, one could almost think that it’s the London CCTV system turned sentient AI.
All that has to happen for a ‘Blackwall’ analagous scenario is enough undersea cables get cut/sabotaged.
Then you’re looking at a much more localized internet, where actually having a reliable or high bandwidth connection to a very far away place requires you to either have an insane jerry rigged solution, or a lot of money to pay for an increasing valuable, still existing intercontinental line.
Of course, we very much could also end up with a more intentionally constructed type of widespread firewalling as well… they already exist.
China’s great firewall, tons of other countries that have internet and/or social media killswitches…
… And we are already seeing massive bandwidth from corpo AI scrapers trying to harvest data to train their AIs leading to people making new ways to detect, block, and or trap them in infinite loops, to save their own servers from going down.
You say cyberpunk dystopia… I say 1776.
… As soon as you find documents from the founding fathers addressing best practices and policies regarding cybersecurity, let me know.

In an 11th-hour reprieve, the US government last night agreed to continue funding the CVE program.
Not sure how much more whiplash I can take…
They want us to all tune out. This is all by design so we don’t know what’s real or not anymore, then they can get away with even more and nobody will care.
This is what they’ve been doing for years and years, this is just more of the same.
I’m not sure about “they” the US government, but it’s absolutely a Russian/ Authoritarian state playbook.
Oh absolutely 100% this has had foreign involvement, the KGB handbook (literally) describes how to plant chaotic agents into a democratic nation’s population to boost both sides of every social debate or argument. The digital age made this the easiest tactic in the world and every nation that’s been “annexed” by Russia experienced this sowing of absolute weaponized bullshit and hate.
edit: several tankies follow me around downvoting my every comment and throwing tankie memes at me because they seeth when someone says that Russia did a bad thing. It’s quite charming, they can’t do much else because they’re blocked.
1000%
I think a lot of it is to get and propogate misinformation because some people won’t hear about the 180s and still talk about as if they happened
someone told them what the acronym really meant, musta thought it was an EV credit or something
It’s not Uncle Sam, or the USA shutting this down. It’s the Republican Administration. They’ve been empowered by the Republican led Congress to shut down anything it doesn’t like, understand, or benefit from.
