Tom Krause, a pivotal figure in D.O.G.E, is under fire for his management at Citrix and new role in the US Treasury.
Krause Targets Citrix for Chaos
A Bloomberg report highlights Tom Krause's drastic layoffs at Citrix leading to major cybersecurity gaps. Under his leadership, the security team was reduced by two-thirds, exposing the company to hacking risks. Many of those let go were senior engineers responsible for identifying and fixing vulnerabilities before hackers could exploit them.
Concerns Over Treasury Role
Robert Metzger warns that Krause's job-cutting approach may harm the Treasury. His strategies, potentially missing vital missions, have raised significant alarms among experts. Previously, Citrix claimed fixing flaws was a priority, but former employees noted the lack of experienced engineers to close those gaps.

He also credited some Treasury staff for trying to solve this issue despite previous management resistance.
Tom Krause’s role and actions are under scrutiny, which might lead to serious repercussions for government data security.
