The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) cancelled a planned cybersecurity exercise scheduled for Election Day after the event starting gaining attention on social media.
The DHS and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) were scheduled to participate in a cybersecurity tabletop exercise on November 5th, followed by a two-day “Homeland Security Critical Infrastructure Conference” in Atlanta, Georgia, hosted by the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association International (AFCEA).
“So anyone have a problem with ‘Homeland’ security running a large scale cybersecurity exercise in Atlanta on election day? I mean what moron dreamed this up? I don’t like the way this smells,” Trump campaign adviser Chris LaCavita wrote last Friday.
