[governance] US to impose sanctions on foreign cyber attackers

[Fouad Bajwa]

How far will nations go with addressing the cyberattack threat?
Pakistan has a cybercrime bill in the making that treats such attacks
within its borders as treason and severe punishments while larger
powerful nations with global reach like the US are going to treat this
possibly with sanctions. Civil Society has so far been a back seat
audience on such contemporary security issues. There have been
academic interventions on such subjects but within the practitioner
and regulatory spaces, there hardly have been any alternative
approaches to seriously address such issue. May be some consideration
in future IGFs?
