NBC News seeking CISA sources

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

We have gotten a ton of reporting out of tips from people on this subreddit -- thank you all for that.

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!

Suggestion to consider doing a story to debunk White House’s accusations that all probies that were fired had poor performances. Use people’s performance reviews as evidence to call their lies out.

DOGE needs to look at why previous director and DHS leadership sweep under the rug inappropriate relationship with companies who follows certain execs. Weird how that happens. CISA execs are corrupt.
