"UK Leads International Efforts to Tackle 'Hackers for Hire'"

An international initiative involving over 35 nations aims to combat hack-for-hire operations. At a recent conference, countries led by the US, UK, and France, together with companies including Google, Apple, BAE Systems, and Microsoft, signed a declaration called the "Pall Mall Process." The goal is to establish guiding principles and policy options for states, industry, and civil society regarding developing and implementing commercially available cyber intrusion capabilities. According to the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), the commercial cyber intrusion sector doubles every ten years, with thousands of people worldwide targeted by spyware each year. There is also the issue of hackers being hired to conduct corporate espionage, as well as hostile states and individuals gaining access to services and tools. This article continues to discuss the Pall Mall Process.
