Summary

The executive order makes countering cybercrime and fraud organised from abroad a federal priority, with a response that includes law enforcement, diplomacy and potential offensive actions. The Departments of State, the Treasury, War, Justice and Homeland Security, with the Office of the National Cyber Director, must review the available frameworks and submit an action plan against the transnational criminal organisations behind scam centres and cybercrime, with an operational cell within the National Coordination Center. The plan must draw on the technical capabilities and threat intelligence of commercial cybersecurity firms to attribute attacks and disrupt criminal infrastructure, while CISA supports state, local, tribal and territorial partners with training and technical assistance. The Attorney General must recommend a restoration programme for victims funded by assets taken from criminal organisations, and the State Department must press foreign governments, up to sanctions and visa restrictions for countries that tolerate such activity.

Who it applies to

Federal agencies, in particular the Departments of State, the Treasury, War, Justice and Homeland Security and CISA; it creates no obligations for private parties.

Key dates

  1. Deadline for the review of operational, technical, diplomatic and regulatory frameworks against transnational criminal organisations engaged in cyber-enabled crime
  2. Deadline for the Attorney General's recommendation on a Victims Restoration Program for victims of cyber-enabled fraud
  3. Deadline for the action plan against scam centres and cybercrime, including an operational cell within the National Coordination Center
