In the past, US #cybersecurity agencies would counter such campaigns by calling them out to raise public awareness. The #FBI would warn #socialmedia companies of inauthentic accounts so they could be removed. And, at times, #US #CyberCommand would try to take #Russia #TrollFarms that create #disinformation offline, at least temporarily.
But #Trump fired Gen Timothy D. Haugh, a 4-star general w/years of experience countering Russian online #propaganda, from his posts leading #CyberCom & the #NSA. -

If you're short on time, here's a quick rundown of the key stories:
🇦🇺 Australian Pension Funds Under Attack: A significant credential stuffing campaign hit multiple Aussie superannuation funds (Australian Super, REST, Hostplus, Insignia, ART) over the March 29-30 weekend. Attackers used stolen creds, likely targeting web portals and mobile apps, accessing accounts and unfortunately stealing funds in some cases (reports mention ~AU$500k from four Australian Super members alone). ASFA is coordinating the response. A stark reminder about password reuse and MFA effectiveness, especially during off-hours!
🏛️ Shake-up at NSA/Cyber Command: Big news out of the US – Gen. Timothy Haugh has been fired from his dual-hat role leading the NSA and USCYBERCOM after just over a year. Deputy Director Wendy Noble is also reportedly out. Reasons are murky, but speculation points towards political motivations (linked to Laura Loomer's visit with President Trump). This raises questions about stability, the ongoing 'Cybercom 2.0' review, and the future of the dual-hat structure, especially with ongoing nation-state threats.
⏱️ Incident Response Speed vs. Backups: An interesting debate highlighted recently – while backups are vital for recovery, is rapid IR potentially even more critical? It’s a tough balancing act: contain fast (risking tipping off attackers/losing evidence) or investigate thoroughly while the breach continues? Emphasises the need for skilled responders and adequate tooling, not just relying on backups as a silver bullet.
⚠️ Critical RCE in Apache Parquet (CVE-2025-30065): Heads up, data folks! A CVSS 10.0 RCE vulnerability has been found in the widely used Apache Parquet columnar storage format (up to v1.15.0). Given its use in Hadoop, AWS, Azure, GCP, and by major tech companies, the potential impact is huge. Patch to version 1.15.1 ASAP!
📱 Pentagon Probes Defense Secretary's Signal Use: The DoD's Inspector General is investigating Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's use of Signal for official business. This follows a report where a journalist was accidentally added to a Signal chat discussing sensitive airstrike details (targets, timing). Raises concerns about classified info on unclassified apps, need-to-know, and record-keeping compliance.

White House fires NSA & Cyber Command chief—raising national security alarm bells
General Timothy Haugh, head of both the NSA and U.S. Cyber Command, has been abruptly fired by the Trump administration, according to CBS and the BBC. His deputy, Wendy Noble, has also reportedly been removed.
This high-level shakeup comes after Trump met with far-right activist Laura Loomer, who called the officials “disloyal.” Trump denies she played a role—but earlier told reporters, “we’ll let go of people we don’t like.”
Lawmakers and cybersecurity professionals are deeply concerned:
・🧠 Removing top cyber leadership undermines national stability
・⚖️ The decision appears politically motivated, not performance-based
・🔐 At a time of escalating cyber threats, the U.S. just lost key defendersFull report: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ckgerl183j3o

Ça rend un peu paranoïaque
Au sein du #Cybercommand le commandement interarmées américain dans le cyberespace les militaires sont concentrés sur une mission : contrecarrer les plans de la #Russie et déjouer ses attaques informatiques récurrentes contre les #EtatsUnis. Mais alors que #Moscou est considéré dans ce domaine comme l’une des principales menaces le nouveau secrétaire à la défense, Pete Hegseth, a donné l'ordre de geler ses activités offensives visant la Russie

According to @BleepingComputer, there have been two different reports since Friday. One about Cyber Command and one about CISA.
Here is a statement from Cyber Command to Bleeping. Computer:
"Due to operational security concerns, we do not comment nor discuss cyber intelligence, plans, or operations. There is no greater priority to Secretary Hegseth than the safety of the Warfighter in all operations, to include the cyber domain."

" Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth last week ordered U.S. Cyber Command to stand down from all planning against Russia, including offensive digital actions, according to three people familiar with the matter.
Hegseth gave the instruction to Cyber Command chief Gen. Timothy Haugh, who then informed the organization's outgoing director of operations, Marine Corps Maj. Gen. Ryan Heritage, of the new guidance, according to these people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the matter’s sensitivity.
The order does not apply to the National Security Agency, which Haugh also leads, or its signals intelligence work targeting Russia, the sources said.
While the full scope of Hegseth’s directive to the command remains unclear, it is more evidence of the White House’s efforts to normalize ties with Moscow after the U.S. and international allies worked to isolate the Kremlin over its 2022 invasion of Ukraine."

The saddest part about all this is that Trump really wants to be Putin's friend and ally. He doesn't understand that he will be completely and utterly outmaneuvered by Putin. There is absolutely nothing, zip, zilch, zero, nada that Putin hasn't seen coming (or instructed) when it comes to Trump.
"You just weakened a country... that's all you did"

#Army Info War Division Wants #SocialMedia Surveillance to Protect “NATO Brand”
#CyberCommand official sought military #contractors that could help “attack, defend, influence, and operate” on global social media. The disclosure follows years of international debate over #online #freeexpression and governmental influence over web. #MassSurveillance appears to be just one component of broader initiative to use private #datamining to advance Army’s information warfare effort
