(Scoop News Group) <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/header>\n<div class=\"single-article__content\">\n<div class=\"single-article__content-inner has-drop-cap\"> <html readability=\"29.049810503519\"><body readability=\"58.624641833811\"><\/p>\n<p><strong>SAN FRANCISCO \u2014 <\/strong>A sweeping public statement signed by more than 30 prominent cybersecurity professionals and academics has condemned what they describe as political retaliation against Chris Krebs, the former director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and his employer, SentinelOne. <\/p>\n<p>The letter, released Monday, comes in the wake of an executive order by President Donald Trump that revoked security clearances for all SentinelOne employees and ordered a Department of Justice investigation into Krebs\u2019 role during and after his government service.<\/p>\n<p>The executive order, <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/trump-chris-krebs-executive-order-2020-election\/\">released earlier this month<\/a>, called Krebs a \u201csignificant bad-faith actor who weaponized and abused his government authority\u201d during his time leading the agency. The order targeted Krebs for his actions in correcting misinformation about alleged fraud in the 2020 presidential election \u2014 a move that had previously led Trump to fire Krebs in the waning days of his first term. <\/p>\n<p>Krebs stepped down from his position at SentinelOne <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/chris-krebs-resigns-sentinelone-fight-trump-executive-order\/\">on April 17<\/a>, saying he needed to devote himself fully to fighting the executive order.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The open letter, addressed to the White House and copied to CISA Executive Director Bridget Bean, frames the executive order as retaliatory. The signatories suggest the measure aims to intimidate security researchers and professionals whose findings may not support the administration\u2019s positions. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy placing Krebs and SentinelOne in the crosshairs,\u201d the document states, \u201cthe President is signaling that cybersecurity professionals whose findings do not align with his narrative risk having their businesses and livelihoods subjected to spurious and retaliatory targeting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The letter also draws parallels with prior instances where the Trump administration directed similar measures at private entities, including law firms, characterizing this as part of a pattern of punitive action against dissenting professionals.<\/p>\n<p>The group collectively calls for two specific actions: the reinstatement of security clearances for all SentinelOne employees and the withdrawal of the Justice Department investigation targeting Krebs. While these demands outline a clear stance from the cybersecurity community, the statement does not speculate on the likelihood of compliance or detail legal challenges underway as a result of the executive order.<\/p>\n<p>Signatories to the letter include:<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Harold Abelson, MIT;<\/li>\n<li>Andrew W.
