Ooooooooooooooooooh shiiiiiiiiiiit that's not good

Like, for anybody who already understands that everything to do with computers talking to each other is basically held together with spit and tape, they're defunding the tape

CVE is THE definitive central source for "fix this potential hack now plz"--at least for things the US thought was too dangerous to keep secret for their own sneaky purposes. Oldheads may remember getting alerts from CERT.

I assume, being a public-facing service, that it wasn't profitable and therefore it's inefficient.

Like, EU CVD/CSIRT will undoubtedly step in to close that gap, but burning this is insane.
