The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has declared an end to advisory committees undermining its mission, particularly addressing concerns about the Cyber Safety Review Board (CSRB). Critics, including Democratic lawmaker Bennie Thompson, worry that the board will be filled with Trump loyalists, jeopardizing crucial investigations into national security matters like the Salt Typhoon hack. Despite Republican claims of CISA acting unlawfully, Thompson stresses the urgency of the CSRB’s work, fearing political motivations may delay vital investigations affecting telecommunication security.
Effective immediately, the Department of Homeland Security will no longer tolerate any advisory committee[s] which push agendas that attempt to undermine its national security mission.
The CSRB is in the process of investigating the Salt Typhoon hack of nine major telecommunications companies, and it is a national security imperative that the investigation be completed expeditiously.
