Donald Trump deputizes US private companies to conduct cyber-attacks

President Donald Trump signed a national security presidential memorandum empowering US private companies to conduct offensive cyber-attacks against foreign transnational criminal organizations. These operations will function under the direction, control, and authority of the US government to leverage private sector innovation. To participate in this new program established by the White House, private companies are required to post a $1 million bond. The initiative aims to enhance the nation's capability in combating global criminal entities through cybersecurity.
