I went to tag Linda Ellerbee and her only two tweets are an April 2011 "just joined!"-type tweet and a July 2020 Lincoln Project retweet

Just got home from a long walk around downtown D.C. Have never seen the city like this. It sounds trite to say, but it was really chilling. ImageImageImageImage

So far, hearing that cyber risks of the Capitol attack were low.

* Congress isn't one big network
* Vulnerable machines held unclassified files
* Hill leaks so much already that truly sensitive stuff is walled off
* Rioters weren't there long enough for thorough, careful access
The only computer reported stolen so far was from Senator Merkley’s office. His staff declined to share details, citing an ongoing investigation.
For those wondering about the SCIFs, used for classified files and conversations, their doors were built to withstand embassy sieges, and they’re swept for bugs before every use.

We haven’t seen any indication that they were even targeted, much less seriously attacked.

Guarantee you that all of these violent extremists are on Team Just Comply With Police when officers kill Black people.
Really feels like we're approaching violent insurrection territory here.
Genuinely chilling stuff.

More Trump admin CISA drama: DHS recently asked CISA to provide confidential SolarWinds data shared by private companies. CISA refused, fearing harm to industry partnerships if companies don't trust its confidentiality promises.

subscriber.politicopro.com/cybersecurity/…

First reported by @dnvolz
When companies share technical data about cyber intrusions to help CISA understand the activity, the data sometimes contains proprietary business information.

To encourage companies to feed it insights, CISA promises not to share confidential data with other agencies.
Neither DHS nor CISA denied our reporting, although both agencies emphasized that CISA regularly shares cyber info with DHS.

Add this to the list of strains that have emerged in the relationship between CISA and WH/DHS political appointees late in the Trump administration.

So I'm just now seeing that @OversightDems has published the latest Plum Book (govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GP…), and there are a bunch of errors. Most are attributable to the June 30 "as of" date, but not all — it says we don't have an NSA director! Image
Unsurprisingly, it still lists Krebs & Travis at CISA. It also lists Suzette Kent, who resigned as federal CIO in July (though she announced it before the Plum Book's "as of" date).

Maybe I'm missing something, but shouldn't it list the assistant directors at CISA? They're PAs.
Organizationally, there are some interesting choices, like listing the CISA director at the end of the agency's section and doing the same with the federal CIO in the relevant OMB section.

Isn't part of the value of this document that it conveys a sense of hierarchy?

Time to tweet out some generic 2021 predictions so I can quote-tweet them later and look very smart.
Brace yourselves for some really bad and surprising coronavirus-related news this year.
Trump is going to keep generating outrage cycles after he leaves office.
