New U.S. Rule Would Limit Sales of Hacking Tools to Russia and China

/in


Good morning. New export controls on U.S.-made hacking tools take aim at a slice of the cybersecurity industry that operates in gray areas.

The pending regulations will force companies to obtain licenses to sell hacking tools in countries such as China and Russia. But the rules include carve-outs for some firms, including those with select private-sector customers or certain clients who use such software or equipment to hone their own cybersecurity.

The Commerce Department program could push U.S. officials to address the sometimes hazy boundaries between defensive and offensive cyber activity. Some lawmakers are open to the idea of crossing that increasingly blurry line, giving corporate security chiefs legal cover to hack back.

The Commerce Department’s near-final rule will require companies to obtain a license to sell hacking technology to certain countries deemed threats to U.S. interests. It will take effect in 90 days.

Commerce Secretary

Gina Raimondo

said the export controls aim to balance national security with the expansion of a cybersecurity industry that creates tools to defend computer networks and has grown at a breakneck pace as the global economy becomes increasingly digitized.

“The United States is committed to working with our multilateral partners to deter the spread of certain technologies that can be used for malicious activities that threaten cybersecurity and human rights,” Ms. Raimondo said in a statement.

The U.S. Wants to Crack Down on Sales of Commercial Hacking Tools for Obvious Reasons

/in


After a slew of hacking scandals involving private surveillance companies, the U.S. is looking to impose new restrictions on the sale of commercial hacking tools—in the hopes of clamping down on abuse perpetuated by the industry.

On Wednesday, the Commerce Department announced a rule change that will put new limitations on the resale or export of “certain items that can be used for malicious cyber activities.” This applies to tools used to infiltrate digital systems and conduct surveillance—such as the notorious commercial spyware, Pegasus—as well as other hacking and “intrusion” software, the Washington Post first reported. The rule, which has reportedly been in development for years, will be put into effect in 90 days.

While the intricacies of the new 65-page rule are somewhat thorny, the biggest result is a new license requirement for American companies that want to sell hacking tools to countries “of national security or weapons of mass destruction concern,” as well as to “countries subject to a U.S. arms embargo,” the Commerce Department’s announcement says. Roughly translated, this means that America’s biggest geopolitical rivals—namely, Russia and China—are on that list, along with a few others. Firms that wish to sell hacking tools to those countries will now have to acquire a special license from the Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security. Requests for such licenses will be reviewed on an individual basis to determine whether they are appropriate.

“The United States Government opposes the misuse of technology to abuse human rights or conduct other malicious cyber activities, and these new rules will help ensure that U.S. companies are not fueling authoritarian practices,” the announcement states.

The new changes, while apparently long percolating, come on the heels of multiple, high-profile hacking scandals that have threatened human rights and involve malicious cyber activities. Most prominently, the spyware firm NSO Group has been at the center of ongoing controversy, spurred by the publication of a large journalistic investigation detailing

The 23 Best Labor Day Sales On Laptops For School, Work And Play

/in


If you want a brand new laptop, but don’t want to spend top-dollar, these deals for Labor Day weekend will definitely be appealing! Traditionally, Black Friday, Cyber Monday and all those other sale holidays are a great time to buy, but this year in particular, Labor Day sales give those other holiday deals a run for their money.

Whether you’re in the market for a high-powered Windows gaming laptop, an affordable machine for the kids’ schoolwork, or were just biding your time for when Apple’s new M1 MacBooks went on sale, you’re in for a treat.

With the current microchip shortage happening worldwide, if you order a custom configured laptop, you may have to wait upwards of three months for it to arrive—and you’ll often pay full price. However, here are some of the best Labor Day sales for in-stock laptops you can buy right now (and typically have shipped right to your door within a week).

Gigabyte Aero 4K Creator Laptop

This is a borderline illegal discount on such a powerful laptop. The Gigabyte 4K OLED Creator laptop is stupendously powerful, combining an Intel 11th-generation Core i7-11800H with an Nvidia RTX 3060, 16GB of high-speed memory and a terabyte of NVMe SSD storage. It has a beautiful 4K OLED display, and a comfortable, responsive backlit keyboard.

Although targeted at creatives for video editing and 3D design work, it’s an amazing gaming machine too, though you may need to tweak the settings on some games to play at native resolution. The battery life isn’t stellar either, but that’s to be expected from such a powerful machine. Keep a charger handy, and this is one of the best laptops out there today.
