    Ooooooooooooooooooh shiiiiiiiiiiit that’s not good

    Like, for anybody who already understands that everything to do with computers talking to each other is basically held together with spit and tape, they’re defunding the tape

    CVE is THE definitive central source for “fix this potential hack now plz”–at least for things the US thought was too dangerous to keep secret for their own sneaky purposes. Oldheads may remember getting alerts from CERT.

    I assume, being a public-facing service, that it wasn’t profitable and therefore it’s inefficient.

    Like, EU CVD/CSIRT will undoubtedly step in to close that gap, but burning this is insane.

      wild doomer speculation

      Oh, oh shit this might be followed by a play to make it illegal to report vulnerabilities to other countries.

    The program will be picked up by others in the fullness of time. It’s a shit move, for sure, but I bet the calculus here is that the US will still benefit from someone else doing the hard work but without paying for it.

    The only thing the US loses here is prestige. And I’m totally fine with that.

      i don’t think so, the reality is the scale of these programs often benefit from the reach and predictable finding government provides.

      it’s the same reason that foreign charities for medicine are most effective when done at a government level.

        You don’t think the program will be picked up by another government actor? It’s only the US that can do this?

        Hmmm 🤔. I think that given how important the work is some other government organisation will absolutely pick up the work if the US want to wash their hands of it.

          sorry I thought you meant it would be picked up by the private sector I merely misunderstood
