Cybercrime is being pushed to all-time highs by new AI tools, making this a dangerous moment for data exposure. Unfortunately, the Trump administration has a poor track record of keeping our sensitive personal information safe. https://t.co/2V6y5bIenf
CISA's diminished capacity is made worse by DOGE's access into government databases. Their haphazard intrusions left a trail of ruined data safeguards, and massive amounts of sensitive information were removed from the safety of secure government servers. https://t.co/7ME8WuQMny
