It tells you, "DHS’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) offers cybersecurity best practices for securing US networks."
CISA workforce cut by nearly one-third so far
The agency has lost roughly 1,000 staffers in the wake of the Trump administration’s workforce cuts.

so much money has been SAVED!!!
plus - less staffers, less software. less software, less attack surfaces. they should lay off everybody, then you don't need servers, then nobody can hack you!
Gee it sure is good we have well funded competent national cybersecurity folks and didn't lay a bunch of them off

Look, a real life retcon!
Yeah all those big scary Iranian hackers and terrorists making the every day American live in fear
When they're talking about "poorly secured US networks", they're referring to Truth Social, right?
You have no idea how much of our critical infrastructure is on the net and poorly secured. And that's not even including the items (like solar inverters) found with undocumented cellular radios that would bypass any security measures put in place.
So glad we have a competent government full of people who understand their knowledge domain and totally aren't fucking morons out in place to destroy every institution they can.
Oh I have a pretty good idea about that... But I was actually referring to the fact that Trump's platform was the first thing attacked after he bombed the country. Yeah it would be great if we had a government that was focused on letting the various agencies do their jobs rather than dismantling everything that keeps us safe and healthy.
As much as it would be a true net positive if that was taken down, they're probably referring to the vast number of networks that actually do viral things.
Gee! Who could have predicted that! /s
Personally, Iranians hacking a bunch of computer systems are probably the least of our worries now. Jim Salter posted an image that makes a good analogy. https://fosstodon.org/@jimsalter/114730060651034011
Both hacktivists and Iranian government-affiliated actors
This false dichotomy is pure propaganda. There is probably no higher form of hacktivism than defending a population from an imperial genocide.
Lots of social engineering incoming, no doubt.
Are you saying those hot women who want my credit card AREN'T nearby?
