US President Donald Trump (File) US President Donald Trump (File)Seven members of Donald Trump’s cybersecurity team, including an Indian-origin data scientist, have resigned, accusing the US president of ignoring the pressing national security matters. In a group resignation letter, the members of the National Infrastructure Advisory Council (NIAC), whose purview includes national cybersecurity, cited both specific shortfalls in the administration’s approach to cybersecurity, and broader concerns that have undermined the “moral infrastructure” of the US, Fortune reported. The members, who were appointed under the previous administration, resigned just before the panel was supposed to hold its quarterly business meeting. The president recently lost two other panels before the NIAC members resigned. His administration dissolved the Manufacturing Council and the Strategic and Policy Forum, but not before a good number of their members already left.
