President Trump's abrupt firing of General Timothy D. Haugh, head of the National Security Agency and U.S. Cyber Command, has raised significant alarms about the nation's cybersecurity. This action, reportedly influenced by far-right factions, follows weeks of dismantling key cyber defenses developed over the past decade to counter foreign cyber threats, particularly from Russia and China. Lawmakers and experts warn that these changes jeopardize the nation's ability to respond effectively to mounting cyberattacks, such as the recent Salt Typhoon operation from China, which has exposed vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure like power grids and telecommunications.
