Good thing we have Christopher Krebs, director of the Homeland Security Department's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, on the job......Oh,wait,, Trump fired the guy responsible for defending against just such at attack? Brilliant.

krebs was fired last month (~11/17/20) and per the article:

so krebs was in fact not defending against such an attack?
