Combatting Evolving Cyber Threats: Leading with Disruption
summary
Justice Department shifts from courtroom wins to bias toward disruption and prevention, using legal process to act in networks: a forfeiture warrant traces and recovers Colonial Pipeline’s ransom via blockchain, court orders allow remote access to remove Cyclops Blink from WatchGuard appliances and delete malware before GRU activation, and investigators quietly harvest Hive decryption keys to stop roughly $130M in payments. A new Disruptive Technology Strike Force of 14 teams targets nation‑state theft of datasets and algorithms.
