>>20328738 Narrative update: US Disabled Chinese Hacking Network Targeting Critical Infrastructure (PN)

1/2

Wait a minute Trump completed multiple EOs on Critical Infrastructure starting in 2017 to 2020. Why is Bidan Admin announcing it like its new? See below. Interesting they say 9 EOs on CI were signed by PDJT but only publish 8, there are EOs or PEADS that are never made public

Washington, D.C., October 22, 2020 - The Department of Homeland Security describes critical infrastructure as “the physical and cyber systems and assets that are so vital to the United States that their incapacity or destruction would have a debilitating impact on our physical or economic security or public health or safety.” While theTrump administration has seen the establishment of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency through legislation, the presidency ofDonald Trump has also been characterized by its high volume of executive orders, which offer key insight into the president’s consideration of both past and possibly future matters of policy. Between January 2017 and September 2020, President Trump signed 189 executive orders,of which nine pertained directly or indirectlyto the cybersecurity of critical infrastructure (this compares to the 172 and 147 executive orders signed by Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, respectively, during their first terms).

President Trump’s Executive Orders on Critical Infrastructure

Cyber Vault Project Published: Oct 22, 2020

Document 1

Executive Order 13799 of May 11, 2017 established the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity with the intention of studying the registration and voting processes used in federal elections to ensure the confidence of the American voter in the integrity of the electoral process. The Commission was tasked especially with studying mechanisms enabling fraudulent voter registrations or fraudulent voting. EO 13799 was revoked, and the Presidential Advisory Commission was terminated, by Executive Order 13820 of January 3, 2018.

Document 2

Executive Order 13800 of May 11, 2017 was the first of President Trump’s executive orders targeted at enhancing the security of federal networks and critical infrastructure. EO 13800 called upon components of the executive branch to address their cyber risk management framework and standardize these efforts in line with the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s Framework for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity. Each federal agency is tasked with providing risk management reports to the Secretary of Homeland Security within 90 days of the signing of EO 13800. EO 13800 empowers the Secretary of Homeland Security to act as the nation’s key coordinator for all aspects of critical infrastructure security, including cybersecurity.

Document 3

Executive Order 13833 of May 15, 2018 sought to enhance the effectiveness of executive branch agency chief information officers by empowering agency CIOs to ensure that agency IT systems are secure, efficient, and effective. This goal was addressed both by increasing the scope of the authority of federal CIOs, and by updating and upgrading legacy federal IT infrastructure.

Document 4

Executive Order 13870 of May 2, 2019 sought to promote the development of America’s cybersecurity workforce by enhancing the career mobility and supporting the development of cybersecurity staff in the executive branch. The goals of EO 13870 were therefore to develop and maintain a robust federal cybersecurity workforce by: regularly rotating the assignments of cybersecurity employees to better facilitate knowledge transfer; using aptitude tests to identify current employees to receive cybersecurity reskilling; creating awards and commendations for both uniformed and civilian cyber operators; establishing the President’s Cup Cybersecurity Competition to identify, challenge, and reward the federal government’s best offensive and defensive cybersecurity personnel and teams.

“The U.S. government in recent months launched an operation to fight a pervasive Chinese hacking operation that successfully compromised thousands of internet-connected devices, according to two Western security officials and one person familiar with the matter.

Known as Volt Typhoon, the malicious cyber activity has alarmed intelligence officials who say it is part of a larger effort to compromise Western critical infrastructure, including naval ports, internet service providers and utilities”.

“Such breaches could enable China, national security experts said, to remotely disrupt important facilities in the Indo-Pacific region that in some form support or service U.S. military operations.”

Document 5

Executive Order 13873 of May 15, 2019, which indicated an escalation in the Trump administration’s intention to insulate American information and communication technology (ICT) from foreign adversaries, prohibits the acquisition, importation, transfer, installation, dealing in, or use of any ICT by any person subject to the jurisdiction of the United States where the transaction involves property in which any foreign country or national has any interest, subject to the determination of the Secretary of Commerce that the transaction poses a material national security concern.

Document 6

Executive Order 13913 of April 4, 2020, built upon EO 13897 by establishing the Committee for the Assessment of Foreign Participation in the United States Telecommunications Sector, with the primary objective of assisting the Federal Communications Commission in its public interest review of national security and law enforcement concerns that may be raised by foreign participation in the United States telecommunications services sector.

Document 7

Executive Order 13920 of May 1, 2020 largely mirrors EO 13873 in its prohibition of acquiring, importing, transferring, or installing any bulk-power system electric equipment by any person or with respect to any property subject to the jurisdiction of the United States where the transaction involves any property in which any foreign country or national has any interest where the Secretary of Energy, in coordination with the heads of other executive branch agencies, has determined that the transaction poses a risk to the national security of the United States. The Secretary of Energy is empowered to direct the timing and cessation of any pending or future transactions. EO 13920 established the Task Force on Federal Energy Infrastructure Procurement Processes Related to National Security, which is to be chaired by the Secretary of Energy or the Secretary’s designee, with the purpose of broadly overseeing the intersection of national security and the procurement policies for energy infrastructure.

Document 8

Executive Order 13942 of August 6, 2020, drafted in response to the widespread use of the mobile application TikTok and concerns that the Chinese government may use TikTok for propagandistic or otherwise exploitative purposes, set a timeframe of 45 days after which any transaction by any person or with respect to any property under the jurisdiction of the United States with ByteDance Ltd. of Beijing, China (the parent company of TikTok) is prohibited.

What if the FBI and DOJ were really messing with Election systems in the US opening them up to China for 2024 elections?

Not closing hacking down, but opening it up and making it easier for China to hack in our Critical Infrastructure which election systems are called by law

>>20330558

Interesting the use the word “Typhoon” in the title, are they linking this operation to Trump

>>20330542

His first one was on election critical infrastructure, he knew early in his term, May 11, 2017 they would hack them. Sounds like DHS reverse engineered it against him
