Security Issues at FEMA
Timothy Birdnow
Incompetence or purposeful sabotage?
Homeland's Noem Fires 24 FEMA Employees After Data Breach
From Zerohedge:
So, is this just the normal incompetence of people who largely can't be fired and who trust in the Democratic Party to keep them safe or are these intentional security lapses to aid, say, a rival country like China? Or to set up a hack that could humiliate the President? We know the Deep State is not above risking national security to secure their own power.
Noem ordered this review and it found:
This is probably just the kind of incompetence we see from political appointees with government funding but you never know.
Than God the adults are finally in charge.
Then there is this from the article:
So there has been talk of mutiny afoot. Now this either proves the operation was hopelessly incompetent or it proves it was corrupt and plotting. Either way this only justifies Noem's efforts at reforming FEMA.
I would remind everyone FEMA was skipping houses with MAGA signage under orders from the Biden Administration, handing out emergency aid on the basis of politics. That alone is corrupt to the core.
Incompetence or purposeful sabotage?
Homeland's Noem Fires 24 FEMA Employees After Data Breach
From Zerohedge:
A cyber hacker breached FEMA systems, but no sensitive data was taken from any Department of Homeland Security (DHS) networks, the department reported. FEMA is an agency within the DHS.
FEMA’s chief information officer, chief information security officer, and 22 other IT employees allegedly responsible for the security failure were immediately terminated.
The Epoch Times' Jill McLaughlin reports that Noem accused longtime employees of working to prevent DHS personnel from solving the problem and downplaying how bad the breach was when DHS stepped in to fix the issue.
While conducting a routine cybersecurity review, the DHS’s chief information officer discovered "significant security vulnerabilities” that gave a hacker access to FEMA’s network.

Noem ordered this review and it found:
The alleged failures included an agency-wide lack of multi-factor authentication, use of prohibited legacy protocols, failing to fix known vulnerabilities, and inadequate operational visibility.
This is probably just the kind of incompetence we see from political appointees with government funding but you never know.
Than God the adults are finally in charge.
Then there is this from the article:
News of the FEMA security breach and the firings came days after nearly 200 current and former FEMA employees signed a declaration protesting the Trump administration’s disaster response changes.
The
employees published a petition to Congress, arguing FEMA is under the
leadership of people "lacking legal qualifications, Senate approval,
and the demonstrated background required of a FEMA Administrator.”
So there has been talk of mutiny afoot. Now this either proves the operation was hopelessly incompetent or it proves it was corrupt and plotting. Either way this only justifies Noem's efforts at reforming FEMA.

Yes, the adults are back in charge. Kristi Noem has been proving herself to be a capable administrator and she's not afraid to swing the axe. And so far the courts have stayed out of her way.
