Submission + - CVE Program Faces Swift End After DHS Fails to Renew Contract (csoonline.com)

snydeq writes: MITRE’s 25-year-old Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) program will end April 16 after DHS did not renew its funding contract for reasons unspecified. Experts say ending the program, which served as the crux for most cybersecurity defense programs, is a tragedy. MITRE’s CVE program is a foundational pillar of the global cybersecurity ecosystem and is the de facto standard for identifying vulnerabilities and guiding defenders’ vulnerability management programs. It provides foundational data to vendor products across vulnerability management, cyber threat intelligence, security information, event management, and endpoint detection and response. It’s unclear what led to DHS’s decision to end the contract after 25 years of funding the highly regarded program. The Trump administration, primarily through Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency initiative, has been slashing government spending across the board, particularly at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), through which DHS funds the MITRE CVE program.

I can think of even a better way to freak out people even more about Nuclear than they already are. Radioactive Zombies! So forget AI, go directly for Radioactive Zombies in nuclear reactors.

Especially because none of them have had their come to Jesus moment admit it they were wrong and started trying to make amends.

You go first. Lying about Biden's mental fitness. Starting a proxy war with Russia and risking nuclear escalation. Going after our kids with trans ideology. Going after our jobs with DEI ideology. Opening borders to tens of millions of illegals. Attempting to defund the police. While I don't like any of this chaos with tariffs, I will take deep recession and bread lines over what democrats were offering.

I wish we had Trump that was more careful, but it is what it is. I think Trump talks A LOT, some of it is just hot air, but when media amplifies only dumb things he says, you are left with such warped impression of who he is. I don't think talking less or only delivering scripted remarks is a Trump thing, so this is unlikely to change. However, I strongly recommend approaching what Trump says less literally in all circumstances, especially when it is intentionally presented in least charitable way.

This happens on all versions of Windows, including Pro. Zero surprise that Microsoft is finding creative ways to abuse paid customers.
