I’ve spent a majority of my career focusing on ransomware thanks to everything I learned while working under Kurtis Minder. He taught me so much from numerous ransomware negotiations.

Politics aside, this executive order is wrong and unconstitutional. I stand with Chris Krebs.

Deafening Silence From The Cybersecurity Industry
Chris Krebs affirmed the 2020 election was secure. Now he's the target of an Executive Order—and the cybersecurity industry’s silence is enabling a dangerous precedent.
