Trump Revokes Security Clearance of Entire Cybersecurity Company Because... Loyalty?

Trump Revokes Security Clearance of Entire Cybersecurity Company Because... Loyalty?

Five years after calling the 2020 election the most secure in U.S. history, Chris Krebs—the former head of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA)—is back in the MAGA crosshairs. After being fired via tweet in 2020 for refusing to back Trump's election fraud claims, Krebs moved on to work at SentinelOne, a private cybersecurity firm.

Now Trump’s administration is revoking his security clearance again—and not just his. Everyone at SentinelOne is reportedly losing theirs too. Why? The official line: "To ensure loyalty and accountability."

So apparently, if one person at your company shows disloyalty to Trump, your entire company might lose the ability to work with the government. Welcome to the loyalty purge.

Krebs, staying classy, reposted his old farewell message:

"Honor to serve. We did it right. Defend today, secure tomorrow."

Because nothing screams “national security” like punishing cybersecurity experts for telling the truth.
