One cannot go a week without seeing the front page of the news featuring a cyber incident – a crime, attack, act of terror, or other state sponsored activity. From criminals stealing nearly $100 million from the Bank of Bangladesh,1 to the Ukrainian power grid being knocked out, leaving 230,000 citizens in the dark,2 and even to determining elections, 3 the impact of cyber warfare is here to stay. The ability of cyber warfare to shape world events can be demonstrated no better than * Daniel Garrie is an Arbitrator, Forensic Neutral, technical Special Master, at JAMS, available in Los Angeles, New York, and Seattle; Executive Managing Partner of Law & Forensics LLC, Head of Computer Forensics and Cyber Security Practice Groups, with locations in the United States, India, and Brazil; Partner and Co-Head of Cyber Security at Zeichner, Ellman & Krause; Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Law and Cyber Warfare; and adjunct Professor of Law at Cardozo School of Law.

Imagine for a moment that instead of headlines like “Russian government hackers penetrated DNC, stole opposition research on Trump”,4 “DNC Hack Prompts Allegations of Russian Involvement”,5 and “Experts: Hard to prove Russians behind DNC hack”6, we read a headline “Foreign criminals break into DNC HQ and steal communications and opposition research”. The latter would likely lead to an unprecedented response by the United States Government, leading to a highly publicized hunt for the criminals, which would lock down all means of egress from our nation until the issue was resolved. Pundits on both sides of aisle would debate the issue, and in likelihood congressional summons would be issued. The truth of the matter is that none of this happened. The story hit the news cycle for 24-48 hours, and over the course of a month nobody paid the issue any attention. That is until we began to see the fallout.

To date, these actors have apparently absconded with zero repercussions, while impacting the election of the leader of the free world, a notion that should seem ludicrous to anyone if it played out in the physical world. The Journal of Law and Cyber Warfare is not a partisan publication. I write this forward as the Editor-in- Chief to highlight the power of an act of cyber war, and the DNC example is only the tip of the spear. The articles in this issue present a range of views and perspectives, both U.S. centric and global, and seek to move the issues surrounding cyber warfare and its implications out of the shadows and into the spotlight. 7 Search the DNC email database, WIKILEAKS, https://wikileaks.org/dnc-emails/. 4 Journal of Law and Cyber Warfare [2016] NO STATE IS AN ISLAND IN CYBERSPACE By Jessica “Zhanna” Malekos Smith* ABSTRACT Economic espionage against one state is an affront to the economic stability of all; for no state is an island in cyberspace. But does a state’s difficulty in attributing a hostile cyber act to its true provenance challenge the enforcement of international law in cyberspace? For if a cyber actor can remain anonymous, or impervious to sanctions, do international accords prohibiting the cyber-enabled theft of intellectual property hold any measurable deterrent effect? Given the distinct cultural norms embedded in distinguishing between permissible and impermissible intelligence collection, a dispute resolution framework that accounts for both cultural disparities and the complexities of attribution, is needed. This Article therefore provides a legal theory – a Cyber Espionage Predominant Purpose Test – for equitably resolving international disputes concerning cyber espionage operations that involve mixed elements of national security espionage and commercial espionage. *With special thanks to Prof. Matthew Bishop, Prof. Anupam Chander, Prof. David Horton, Thomas E. Smith, Colleen Swanson, and the diligent staff of the Journal of Law and Cyber Warfare for their generosity of time and support. 5 NO STATE IS AN ISLAND . [2016] INTRODUCTION “No man is an island, Entire of itself, Every man is a piece of the continent, A part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less. Any man's death diminishes me, Because I am involved in mankind, And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee.” – John Donne, No Man Is an Island8 In the new frontier of cyberspace, no state is an island. As John A. Serabian Jr. noted during a Joint Economic Committee on Cyber Threats and the U.S. Economy, “cyber threats can come from almost anywhere. They can originate from any location, affect systems anywhere in the world, disguise origins and travel routes, and do it all instantaneously.”9 Adding to the litany of asymmetrical threats10 is the attribution challenge. 8 John Donne, No Man is an Island, POEM HUNTER.COM, http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/no-man-is-an-island/ (last visited Jan. 25, 2016). 9 See Cyber Threats and the US Economy, CIA, (Feb. 23, 2000), https://www.cia.gov/news-information/speeches- testimony/2000/cyberthreats_022300.html (last visited Jan. 26, 2016). 10 See Cyber Threats to National Security, Summary of Symposium One: Countering Challenges to the Global Supply Chain (2010), http://asymmetricthreat.net/docs/asymmetric_threat_4_paper.pdf (stating that “[c]yber threats are asymmetric because attacks may be perpetrated by the few upon the many, with little cost and resources. 6 Journal of Law and Cyber Warfare [2016] Attribution is “the association of data (called a characteristic) with an entity (person, process, file, or other data).”11 The attributive analysis process, as described by University

  • PRIME-ARY PERSPECTIVE: MAINE, NEVADA, NORTH DAKOTA, SOUTH CAROLINA, and VIRGINIA
    PRIME-ARY PERSPECTIVE: MAINE, NEVADA, NORTH DAKOTA, SOUTH CAROLINA, and VIRGINIA PRIME-ARY Perspectives is a series that will give you an overview of the most noteworthy results from each state's primary election, focusing on congressional districts that are likely to be most competitive in November, as well as those that will have new representation in 2019 because of retirements. As always, please do not hesitate to reach out to us with questions! MAINE Yesterday, Maine became the first state in the country to use a "ranked- choice" voting system. The system allows for voters to rank the candidates from favorite to least favorite. If one candidate gets 50% + 1 vote, everything proceeds as usual; if not, vote counters gradually eliminate candidates with fewer votes. As candidates are eliminated, each vote they received goes to the whomever the individual voter chose as their next favorite candidate. This process goes on until there are two candidates and whichever one has the most votes is declared the winner. This process has earned the voting system the alternate moniker of the "instant-runoff" system. The state's deeply unpopular governor, Paul LePage (R), has threatened to refuse to certify the primary results, calling the new system "the most horrific thing in the world." This year, Maine will hold elections for all of its statewide races, one Senate seat, and its 2 seats in the House of Representatives. GUBERNATORIAL Gov. Paul LePage won reelection in 2014, at least partially because an independent candidate won 8.4% of the vote. This election is one of the reasons that the state transitioned to its ranked-voting (as described above).

  • Trump Administration Allies Have Burrowed Into 24 Critical Civil Service Positions and 187 Last-Minute Appointments
    Trump Administration Allies Have Burrowed Into 24 Critical Civil Service Positions And 187 Last-Minute Appointments SUMMARY: Following the outgoing administration’s “quiet push to salt federal agencies with Trump loyalists,” an Accountable.US review has found that, as of February 22, 2021, at least 24 Trump administration political appointees have “burrowed” into long-term civil service jobs in the new Biden administration. This includes at least four figures in the national security apparatus, nine figures with environmental regulators, three figures in the Department of Justice, two figures in the embattled Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and at least six other appointees elsewhere who have refused to step down in the transition. Burrowing of this sort is not treated lightly, as officials who transfer from political appointments to career positions must undergo scrutiny by federal personnel overseers for a full five years—and some of these cases have been found to violate federal laws and have drawn congressional scrutiny. However, there is a much wider slate of concerning Trump administration appointments that are not subject to such strict oversight: During the Trump administration’s waning days following the 2020 election, it announced 187 last-minute appointments to various boards, commissions, and councils that don’t require Senate confirmation. While some of these appointments have already drawn alarm for going to campaign staffers, megadonors, and top administration allies, Accountable.US has unearthed even more troubling names in Trump’s outgoing deluge. Similar to how early Trump administration personnel picks were directly conflicted against the offices they served, many of these late Trump appointments are woefully underqualified or have histories directly at odds with the positions to which they were named—and they are likely to stay in long into the Biden administration.

  • The International Code Council Strongly Supports the Nomination of Building Safety Advocate Peter Feldman to the Consumer Product Safety Commission
    June 14, 2018 The International Code Council strongly supports the nomination of building safety advocate Peter Feldman to the Consumer Product Safety Commission Earlier this month, the President nominated Peter A. Feldman to be a commissioner of the Consumer Product Safety Commission for the remainder of a seven-year term expiring October 16, 2019. Feldman is a long-time advocate of building safety and has dedicated his career to protecting the health and safety of the public. In 2007, Feldman worked at the International Code Council, where he supported the Code Council’s mission to provide up-to-date, modern building, fire, safety codes and standards for the protection of people and the built environment. He drafted and advocated for passage of the Building Code Administration Act of 2007, a bill supporting local building code enforcement departments to increase staffing, provide staff training, support professional individual certification or departmental accreditation. Since his time at the Code Council, Feldman has continued to support public safety with a focus on consumer protection and product safety. As indicated in his nomination announcement from the White House: Mr. Feldman is senior counsel to the United States Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, advising on consumer protection, product safety, data, and privacy issues under the leadership of Chairman John Thune of South Dakota. Mr. Feldman has played a key role in the development and enactment of major consumer protection legislation, committee investigations, and congressional oversight of federal agencies, including the Consumer Product Safety Commission. He previously served on the legislative staff of Senator Mike DeWine of Ohio, where he worked directly on the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act, a landmark safety bill that remains in effect today.
