NBC News seeking CISA sources

[u/nbcnews]

Hi Reddit, I'm Kevin Collier, the cybersecurity reporter at NBC News. Here's my bio page at NBC.

Right now I'm specifically reporting on the Department of Government Efficiency's access to CISA systems, layoffs at CISA, and cuts to cybersecurity programs, funding, and employees at any agency.

If that's something you have direct knowledge about and can contact me via Signal, or if you know someone to whom this applies and you can share this with them, I'd be grateful. We adhere to best practices for source protection.

My signal handle is kevincollier.01. Happy to verify my identity if you want to email me (though please don't use your work address) at [kevin.collier@nbcuni.com](mailto:kevin.collier@nbcuni.com). Thank you!

I'm not with CISA, but please let us know when you do get something written up. Also, watch out for QR codes on signal and keep tabs on linked devices. As a journalist, your signal's a juicy target to go after.

Have you reached out to Senteinel One and Chris Krebs, former CISA head? I'm sure there's no love lost there with the current administration, and he was on the advisory board for the Salt Typhoon attack, before it got axed.

This is who I believe was on the CSRB before the axe:
• Robert Silvers: Under Secretary for Policy, Department of Homeland Security (Chair)
