In a sweeping move, the Trump administration has terminated all advisory committees within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), effectively shutting down investigations into major cybersecurity threats, including those linked to China. This decision, which has sparked significant controversy and concern among cybersecurity professionals and lawmakers, comes amidst claims of resource mismanagement and a broader effort to cut costs. The disbanding affects key bodies such as the Cyber Safety Review Board (CSRB), which was scrutinizing the Salt Typhoon hacking incidents. Critics argue that these actions signal a lack of commitment to cybersecurity, potentially emboldening foreign hacking groups and leaving the nation vulnerable to future cyber threats. The abrupt dismissal of advisory members has not only disrupted ongoing investigations but has also raised alarms regarding the future of cybersecurity oversight in the U.S.
