Is DHS running honeypots?

When in September 2015 DHS published its own Security Audit Report , I was rather speechless I could not find any mention of "SSL" or "TLS" in the text, but apparently DHS has been aware of Transport Layer Security earlier than that. Today KrebsOnSecurity published a post titled DHS Giving Firms Free Penetration Tests  containing a link to a document which include the  status update about the ongoing cyber programs and efforts underway at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center (NCCIC) . In a rather confusing timeline, we read first about a DHS ignoring SSL/TLS during its own Security Audit Report (Sept. 2015) and today about how SSL (TLS) related vulnerabilities occupy 5/5 of the Top 5 (Occurring) Vulnerabilities list in the DHS NCATS Year-Engagement Report 2014 (which indeed might have more conveniently be published at an earlier date). The reason for this post is not the confusing orde

The majority of DHS subdomains vulnerable to Man in The Middle attacks
