白宫在关于该备忘录的情况介绍中提到了外国犯罪组织发动的勒索软件攻击、金融诈骗及其他犯罪活动,备忘录中将这些组织称为“跨国犯罪组织”。

白宫补充称,该备忘录建立了一个框架,鼓励私营企业与其他私营实体以及联邦、州、地方、部落和地区机构签订协议,收集关于跨国犯罪组织的威胁信息,并提出应对这些威胁的网络行动方案。

该备忘录指示国土安全部通过国土安全特别工作组的国家协调中心,设立一个“开展特定网络行动以破坏外国跨国犯罪组织”的项目,该项目将由国土安全部和司法部监督。

根据备忘录,在联邦政府监督下,经过审核的参与企业将对指定目标开展“网络监视行动”和“网络效果行动”。

备忘录中提到:“网络效果包括对信息系统、网络、由信息系统控制的实体或虚拟基础设施,或其上存储的信息进行潜在的操纵、破坏、阻断、降级或销毁。”

备忘录显示,参与企业必须持有至少100万美元的保证金或托管资金。

私营企业参与针对犯罪组织及其他目标的网络行动的想法并非首次出现,过去曾因存在升级风险、意外后果以及跨部门协调问题等争议而引发讨论。

Aug 12 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump signed a memo on Wednesday that the White House said was aimed at empowering federal law enforcement ​to use cyber tools against transnational criminal organizations that operate in foreign ‌jurisdictions to attack Americans.

Trump signed the national security presidential memorandum directing his administration to “leverage the capability and innovation of the private sector to help conduct these cyber operations under the direction, ​control, and authority of the U.S. Government,” the White House said.

The White House, ​in a fact sheet about the memo, cited ransomware attacks, financial ⁠frauds and other crimes run by foreign-based criminal organizations, referred to in the ​memo as “transnational criminal organizations.”

The memo creates a framework that encourages private sector companies to ​enter into agreements with other private entities, as well as federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial agencies to gather threat information on transnational criminal organizations and propose cyber operations to address those ​threats, the White House added.

The memo directs the Department of Homeland Security, through ​the Homeland Security Task Force’s National Coordination Center, to create a program “to conduct specific cyber operations ‌that ⁠disrupt foreign TCOs” that will be overseen by DHS and the Department of Justice.

Under the supervision of the federal government, participating companies, once vetted, will conduct “cyber surveillance operations” and “cyber effects operations” against specified targets, according to the memo.

“Cyber effects includes the potential ​manipulation, disruption, denial, degradation, ​or destruction of ⁠information systems, networks, physical or virtual infrastructure controlled by information systems, or information resident thereon,” according to the memo.

Participating companies will ​have to maintain a bond or escrow of at least $1 ​million, according ⁠to the memo.

The idea of private sector firms participating in cyber operations against criminal and other targets is not new, and has been controversial in the past, for fears of ⁠escalation, ​inadvertent consequences, and inter-agency coordination issues.
