White House memo creates NCC program for vetted private hack-back operations
Legal Policy Action UpdateA national security presidential memorandum signed by U.S. President Donald Trump directs the National Coordination Center (NCC) to establish a program that lets vetted private security companies apply for approval to conduct limited cyber operations against foreign cybercrime organizations under U.S. Government control. Participating firms must be reviewed before contracting with the Justice or Homeland Security departments, comply with the U.S. Constitution, federal law, and international obligations, maintain a $1 million bond or escrow, and stop immediately if they exceed approved limits or risk unintended targeting of U.S. citizens or U.S.-based systems. The program is intended to disrupt ransomware, phishing, financial fraud, sextortion, and impersonation scams.
