Cyber Command is the military's invisible force operating from deep inside the NSA's glass bunker in Fort Meade,
Maryland.
And its mission is the same as any other military force,
except their battlefield is everywhere and their weapons are lines of code.
And for the most part, they're focused on our four biggest adversaries in cyberspace.
China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran.
So when news broke
that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had told Cybercom to hit pause on offensive operations against Russia,
it made headlines around the world.
Some breaking news.
U.S. cyber Command has been ordered to stop offensive operations against Russia.
And that's fueled concerns that the Trump administration is going soft on Vladimir Putin.
Another signal, it seemed, of a bigger shift in US Policy.
The Trump administration's open armed approach to a longtime adversary,
one who happens to have been particularly aggressive in cyberspace,
whether through state sanctioned attacks or the ones Moscow conveniently ignores.
Like, we can just go down the list of stuff that we can attribute back to Russia.
This is Jake Williams,
a former NSA cyber operator and now vice president at the cybersecurity firm Hunter Strategy.
