Senators and law enforcement officials warned that cyberattacks by foreign adversaries are reaching a critical point.
Will adversaries think twice about going after U.S. networks knowing that the Department of Defense now considers offensive tactics as part of its arsenal? Scythe's Bryson Bort and Endgame's Andrea Limbago discuss the shift towards offensive cyber operations and what it means for deterrence.
Sen. Ron Wyden says foreign hackers are targeting the personal accounts of senators and is introducing legislation to help protect those accounts.
The United States Department of Justice painstakingly laid out the investigative breadcrumbs that identified the tools and techniques used by North Korea in offensive campaigns conducted over a four-year span, which includes the attack against Sony Pictures in 2014, the theft from Bangladesh Bank in 2016, and the devastating WannaCry ransomware outbreak in 2017.
The United States Department of Justice has charged a North Korean programmer for taking part in the attacks as part of its strategy to call out nation-state attackers. While there is no chance of US law enforcement ever making the arrest, the complaint is a way for the government to respond to damaging nation-state sponsored attacks.
