Let's try to make sense of that.

    1) the cybersecurity talent from DoD and USG is so decimated it can't
    field a response to whatever this concern is or

    2) the DoD has the talent to resolve whatever this concern is and they
    are deliberately leaving this concern in place or

    3) the DoD is lying about a cybersecurity issue being the reason
    that they're withholding lifesaving data (from benefiting
    the public that paid for it).

Fourth option: a cyber company that could potentially sell weather forecast data is loosing it's financial security because NOAA gives it away for free.
