Private security firms will soon be allowed to hack overseas cybercriminals
摘要
特朗普政府签署国家安全总统备忘录，授权私营安全公司参与针对海外跨国犯罪组织的网络攻击与监控行动。该计划由国土安全部下属国家协调中心制定，司法部和国土安全部负责监督，重点打击勒索软件、网络诈骗、钓鱼攻击及金融欺诈等犯罪活动。私营企业将获准执行“网络监视行动”和“网络效应行动”，目标为针对美国实施网络犯罪且不受外国政府直接指挥的境外组织。目前具体操作细节尚未明确
The Trump administration is recruiting private security firms to conduct federal government-authorized operations, including cyber attacks, against overseas-based criminal organizations that commit hacks on US persons, organizations, or government entities.
In a National Security Presidential Memorandum issued Thursday, US President Donald Trump directed the National Coordination Center (NCC), which operates under the Homeland Security Task Force, to develop a program for conducting specific cyber operations that combat foreign transnational criminal organizations (TCOs). The Departments of Justice and Homeland Security will provide oversight. The lynchpin of that program is bringing in private sector companies to participate.
Devil will be in the still-undefined details
A fact sheet that accompanied Thursday’s memo listed ransomware, sextortion schemes, phishing campaigns, financial fraud, and impersonation scams as activities eligible for private-sector security firms to target. The memo said such firms could “conduct Cyber Surveillance Operations and Cyber Effects Operations” against “cyber-enabled” TCOs. Such groups are defined as “any foreign group that conducts cyber-enabled crime against the United States Government, a United States person, or United States interests, and that is not an institutional part of a foreign government or wholly operated under a foreign government’s direction.”
