Trump admin fires security board investigating Chinese hack of large ISPs


Dismantled Cyber Safety Review Board was investigating Salt Typhoon telecom hack.

The Cyber Safety Review Board's list of members included security experts from the private sector and lead cybersecurity officials from multiple government agencies. US Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) was quoted by Reuters as saying that "disbanding the Cyber Safety Review Board while it's in the middle of investigating the most damaging breach of America's phone system in recent memory is a massive gift to the Chinese spies who targeted Trump, JD Vance and other top political figures." The Cyber Safety Review Board operates under the DHS's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), which has been criticized by Republican lawmakers for allegedly trying to "surveil and censor Americans' speech on social media."
