    Unable to read article b/c,

    You have been blocked from The New York Times because we suspect that you’re a robot.

    I am not, in fact, a robot.

    Anyway I will add that CISA in the US is charged with securing our critical ifnrastructure. CISA has been hit with major budget cuts and layoffs, tho. That has compromised their effectiveness at that charge.

    Maybe the fine article mentioned that. I wouldn’t know.
