TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TO SPEND $1B ON OFFENSIVE HACKING OPERATIONS
Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter
As part of Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill, $1B has been allocated for offensive hacking operations. These funds can be used for carrying out attacks using 0-days and installing spyware, but also for everyday expenses such as infrastructure and intelligence gathering. Critics note that the bill slashes funding from defensive operations such as the CISA, potentially leaving the U.S. unable to defend itself.
