Eight out of the 28 members on the White House's National Infrastructure Advisory Council, which is responsible for overseeing the US' response to emerging cyber threats, resigned last week.
The letter that advisers — many of whom were Obama-era appointees — submitted to the White House was published by Nextgov and cited several reasons for leaving, including President Donald Trump's controversial response to the riots in Charlottesville that were sparked by white supremacists; Trump's decision to withdraw from the landmark Paris climate deal; and his "insufficient attention" to possible cyber threats posed to American infrastructure, including its election systems.
Trump's actions, the letter said, "have threatened the security of the homeland I took an oath to protect." It added that the administration's actions "undermine" the "moral infrastructure of our Nation" which "is the foundation on which our physical infrastructure is built."
Though Trump has at times spoken about addressing "the cyber," he has been reluctant to address perhaps the most pressing cybersecurity threat the US currently faces: Russia.
