Cyber Threats Continue After US and Iran Ceasefire, Warns Analyst

The article discusses the implications of a U.S.-Iran ceasefire, emphasizing that while kinetic warfare may pause, cyber warfare continues unabated. Despite warnings from various U.S. agencies about Iranian-affiliated cyber actors targeting critical infrastructure, there are no existing international norms to govern cyber attacks.

The author advocates for extending the Geneva Conventions to include regulations on cyber warfare, suggesting that countries should be held responsible for cyber actions originating from their territory. He highlights the gap in current warfare conventions and underscores the urgent need for formal agreements that address the realities of cyber threats alongside traditional warfare, proposing multilateral negotiations to establish these norms.
