Because vulnerability management has nothing to do with national security, right?

In an 11th-hour reprieve, the US government last night agreed to continue funding the CVE program.

Not sure how much more whiplash I can take...

They want us to all tune out. This is all by design so we don't know what's real or not anymore, then they can get away with even more and nobody will care.

This is what they've been doing for years and years, this is just more of the same.

I’m not sure about “they” the US government, but it’s absolutely a Russian/ Authoritarian state playbook.

Oh absolutely 100% this has had foreign involvement, the KGB handbook (literally) describes how to plant chaotic agents into a democratic nation's population to boost both sides of every social debate or argument. The digital age made this the easiest tactic in the world and every nation that's been "annexed" by Russia experienced this sowing of absolute weaponized bullshit and hate.

edit: several tankies follow me around downvoting my every comment and throwing tankie memes at me because they seeth when someone says that Russia did a bad thing. It's quite charming, they can't do much else because they're blocked.

I think a lot of it is too get and propogate misinformation because some people won't hear about the 180s and still talk about as if they happened
