It explores the applicability of international law to cyber activity below the threshold of armed conflict. A global group of 19 experts, aided by input from governments and international organizations, prepared the manual over the course of four years; The cybersecurity Executive Order that President Donald Trump is expected to sign this week would kick off a far-reaching White House review of each federal agency's cybersecurity risks, according to an updated draft; Hal Martin indicted: The theft may go well beyond what is in the indictment; The No. 2 official at the NSA is not leaving because of Trump.
