The government will continue funding the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) program. In a statement to The Verge, US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA) spokesperson Jared Auchey said it “executed the option period on the contract to ensure there will be no lapse in critical CVE services” last night.

    At this point … what stops the CVE foundation moving on as a foundation and working to find an alternative funding model?

    I know it’s the whole point of them doing this shit but it’s getting so hard to cope with the constant fucking around. What in the fuck are we going to do? At least for now they’ve realized how spectacularly stupid this move was, I guess.

    There’s already alternatives, why not just let them take over? Trump complained about the US giving up DNS, now he’s complaining about CVE. He wants to control everything but doesn’t want to pay for it.
