Trump Memo Paves Way for U.S. Firms to Hack and Disrupt Foreign Crime Groups

U.S. President Donald Trump recently signed a White House memo directing the National Coordination Center (NCC) to create a program that would enable businesses in the private sector to use their "innovative capabilities" to enter and disrupt foreign Transnational Criminal Organizations (TCOs).
