New DoJ Cyber Prosecution Team Will Go After Nation-State Threat Actors

The US Department of Justice adds litigators under its National Security Division to take on sophisticated cyber threats from adversarial nation-states.

The US Department of Justice has created a new National Security Cyber Section, also known as NatSec Cyber, to respond to increasing cybersecurity threats from nation-state actors.
The new NatSec Cyber division will work in coordination with the DoJ Criminal Divisions Computer Crimes and Intellectual Property Section (CCIPS) and the FBIs Cyber Division, to quickly respond and prosecute cyberattacks from state-backed cybercriminals, according to the agencys announcement.
The naming of a dedicated team of DoJ cybercrime lawyers comes in the wake of major cyberattack campaigns targeting US interests including the Russian group
Cl0Ps ongoing ransomware attacks
on the MOVEit file transfer zero-day flaw, and ramped-up cyber espionage attacks
out of China
including the recent
Volt Typhoon cyberattacks
.
NatSec Cyber will give us the horsepower and organizational structure we need to carry out key roles of the Department in this arena, Assistant Attorney General Matthew G. Olsen of the Justice Departments National Security Division said in a
statement announcing the new team
. This new section will allow NSD to increase the scale and speed of disruption campaigns and prosecutions of nation-state threat actors, state-sponsored cybercriminals, associated money launderers, and other cyber-enabled threats to national security.
