The CSRB was "less than halfway" done with its Salt Typhoon investigation, according to a now-former member.
"I'm hoping this is a pause, not the end," this person said. "There are still professional staff for the CSRB and I hope they will continue some of the work in the interim.

DHS has disbanded the Cyber Safety Review Board (CSRB)
The Cyber Safety Review Board's members have been dismissed by the new administration, same as many members of other boards. CSRB was completely nonpartisan and worked in tremendous depth, bringing serious recommendations for improving security. Most recently it was looking at the telco hacks. RIP.

instead of passing a privacy law, reforming our systems, empowering regulators, and holding people/courts/companies accountable, we elected a clown who defanged the FCC, CISA, and the CSRB
again, how would a foreign effort to destroy the United States from within look any different?

Trump has gutted government cybersecurity programs (including one investigating the biggest Chinese hack of U.S. telecom networks in history), dismantled the Cyber Safety Review Board (CSRB), and fired oodles of folks doing essential work at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.

In Jan., the Trump admin dismissed members of the Cyber Safety Review Board, created by President Biden to improve the nation’s digital security. Former CSRB member Jeff Greene explains the importance of the CSRB and explores how the admin could improve it. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/what...
What’s Next for the Cyber Safety Review Board?
The Biden-era structure is vital to U.S. cybersecurity, but the Trump administration could take steps to improve upon its initial setup.

What an insane move, even for this cartel. Killing the CSRB sends a very clear message.
DHS has terminated the memberships of everyone on its advisory committees.
This includes several cyber committees, like CISA's advisory panel and the Cyber Safety Review Board, which was investigating Salt Typhoon.
That review is "dead," person familiar says.

It’s always hilarious when people comment before even watching the video. On my YouTube video about Trump disbanding CSRB, the average view time is less than 4 minutes on a 15-minute video. Y’all really out here speedrunning opinions. 🤣

This is pretty remarkable. And frankly I was really looking forward to seeing the thorough review of Salt Typhoon.
If you were on the CSRB or were familiar with its work and want the public to know where things stood, I'm committed to source protection and my signal is in my bio.

Dmitri Alperovitch, speaking w/ @maggiemiller.bsky.social about CSRB Salt Typhoon probe: "...one of the most consequential operations against the United States with the most impact to US national security that I've ever seen in my life, and I think could be one of the top in history."

That, and Musk drove out the head of the FAA because he wouldn't approve SpaceX flights enough, and they also disbanded CISA and CSRB, which I consulted for until Trump won and I resigned. Those two, CISA and CSRB play a pivotal role in our cybersecurity, and not just your TikTok account but

This is likely welcome news to U.S. telcos. The CSRB was scathing of Microsoft in its last report, which probed the email hacks of senior government officials. This one was expected to be critical of telecom security practices as well.

imo Trump is continuing his grudge against Chris Krebs, who was a member of the CSRB
NEW: The Trump admin has fired members of the Cyber Safety Review Board, a committee that was lauded for its investigation into Microsoft hacks of 2023, and was working on the recent Salt Typhoon telco hacks.
One source called it a “horribly shortsighted” decision.

As a technical matter the CSRB may still exist, but it now lacks any membership. If the board does not complete the Salt Typhoon investigation it will deprive the public of a thorough review of one of the worst cyber-espionage campaigns in history.

It’s obvious that CSRB was not the only way the US government is investigating cyber attacks like Salt Typhoon affecting telecoms — but CSRB’s sudden absence does leave a serious gap in the free, authoritative reporting of non classified information to the public from an unbiased government source.
