“This piece argues that an authorization permitting the private sector to conduct OCOs would have dire consequences. Enlisting the private sector to undertake OCOs will complicate oversight, empower a dubious and corrupt industry, create counterintelligence risks, fuel a cyber arms race that could lead to system-wide instability, make critical infrastructure insecure, provoke countermeasures against perpetrators, and put civilians at risk.

Whereas previous U.S. administrations have sought to contain these dynamics through law and policies, the Trump administration would instead facilitate them. Several U.S. adversaries, including Russia, China, and Iran, and at least one ally, the United Arab Emirates, already outsource offensive cyber operations to private firma. With the United States following in their path, it would normalize private-sector OCOs internationally, emboldening authoritarian and illiberal governments to undertake even more OCOs, and multiplying their negative implications on U.S. security.”

Associated Press: Hacked hospitals, hidden spyware: Iran conflict shows how digital fight is ingrained in warfare. “As they fled an Iranian missile strike, some Israelis with Android phones received a text offering a link to real-time information about bomb shelters. But instead of a helpful app, the link downloaded spyware giving hackers access to the device’s camera, location and all its […]

Kasperskys research team published a sweeping analysis: We Are At War. The thesis: all technology is now political, serving as weapon, target, or lever in geopolitical conflict. Pax Americanas stability is eroding, Europes dependence on US tech and cyber capabilities is being tested, and the threat landscape is shaped by systemic forces beyond individual threat actors. The title says it all—were in a persistent state of cyber conflict whether we acknowledge it or not. 🌍⚔️
