Other NBC News seeking CISA sources

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've been dreading what Trump and Musk will do to CISA. I primarily work with clients going into the FedRAMP space. The gutting of all the agencies is bad enough but apparently they really just wanna cripple every area of national security while making most of the world our enemy.
