Amazing. Salt Typhoon is an ongoing breach that has been called the biggest in US history, and the new brain trust just fired the instigators.

> the new brain trust just fired the instigators.

Seems forgiving to simply fire them rather than charge, prosecute and imprison.

GP likely meant investigators instead of instigators

Haha goddamnit I missed the edit window

No drama - I have to read and reread all my own comments these days now I've aged - it's exactly the type of mistake I'm making more and more.

Gave me a chuckle and no ill will intended by pointing it out. Take care.

We all make mistakes, as the Dalek said, climbing down off of the dustbin

Turn it over to the NSA and CIA assuming they will play nice together. NSA to figure out who is doing what given they likely already know and CIA to be the sharp end of the stick assets already in country.

Figuring out who is doing it not the purpose of the CSRB. Analyzing how attacks happened and making recommendations on how to avoid future attacks is.

NSA can do that too. I mean, they will be grumpy whilst doing it but they can do it.
