US cyber defenses are being dismantled from the inside

1. The Trump administration has significantly weakened U.S. cybersecurity, nearly letting the vital CVE database collapse due to defunding and staff cuts.
   Key cyber defense leaders, including NSA head General Haugh, have been fired for political reasons, and essential advisory boards like the CSRB were disbanded.
   Trump shifted cyber defense responsibility to states and individuals, a move experts criticize as unrealistic and dangerous.
   Critical federal cybersecurity programs and grants have been gutted, while sensitive systems have been exposed to internal threats.
   Experts warn these self-inflicted wounds could lead to devastating cyberattacks affecting not just the U.S., but the entire world.
