Funding For Program To Stop Next Stuxnet From Hitting US Expired Sunday (theregister.com) 21
Government funding for a program that hunts for threats on America's critical infrastructure networks expired on Sunday, preventing Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory from analyzing activity that could indicate a cyberattack, the program director told Congress on Tuesday. From a report: Nate Gleason leads a team at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) focused on nation-state threats against critical infrastructure, and this includes the CyberSentry Program.
It's a public-private partnership, managed by CISA, that looks for malicious activity on IT and operational technology (OT) networks in America's energy, water, healthcare, and other critical facilities. This includes threats along the lines of China's Volt Typhoon and Salt Typhoon intrusions -- network activity that may look like, or even start as, espionage, but ultimately enables the digital invaders to backdoor critical orgs and deploy cyber weapons to aid in a kinetic war.

Why would important people care what happens to public infrastructure during a cyberattack?
It's not like they realize that their private jets will be grounded too.

Trump and his administration, plus the Republican enablers of that demented and egotistical lunatic are in the process of destroying the USA.

Worse, they are destroying the idea of America. Other countries can no longer trust the U.S. because la Presidenta just spews bullshit. That means they cannot count on the U.S going forward. And that results in routing their economies around the U.S.
The other part of destroying America is destroying its soul as a place that works regardless of race, color, creed, sexual orientation, etc. All of that is now being monetized by this alleged administration and thus becoming soulless. The justice system is just

They built that camp in a matter of weeks. This proves they could easily build housing for citizens and veterans that need help.

So, it's tied up in red tape at the moment. Nothing in the article said the program was cancelled, just that there's bureaucratic BS to go through.
