It\u2019s been a busy year in the field, so the non-binding, non-decisionmaking body will have plenty to discuss. Armed with a ringing endorsement from <a href=\"http:\/\/netmundial.br\/netmundial-multistakeholder-statement\/\" target=\"_blank\">NetMundial<\/a>, fingers are crossed that the Forum\u2019s strengthened mandate will produce more tangible takeaways for participants and that its mandate will be renewed before its 2015 expiry date. For a bit of background on governing the net, check out our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aspistrategist.ru\/?s=governing+the+net\" target=\"_blank\">blog series<\/a> of the same name.

In <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newsinenglish.no\/2014\/08\/27\/oil-industry-under-attack-by-hackers\/\" target=\"_blank\">Norway<\/a>, as many as 300 oil and energy companies have been targeted by a massive, coordinated spearphishing campaign.<\/p>\n<p>In <a href=\"http:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2014\/09\/01\/heres-what-we-know-so-far-about-the-celebrity-photo-hack\/\">the United States<\/a>, around 100 celebrities have had compromising pictures stolen and posted online through what\u2019s likely to have been a targeted <a href=\"http:\/\/www.latimes.com\/local\/lanow\/la-me-ln-celebrity-nude-photos-accessed-by-phishing-source-says-20140902-story.html\" target=\"_blank\">phishing scheme<\/a>.

Those leaks have already led to the resignation of Cabinet Minister Judith Collins with just weeks until the ballot.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, cyber cops have a new ally in this embattled space, with Monday\u2019s launch of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.europol.europa.eu\/content\/expert-international-cybercrime-taskforce-launched-tackle-online-crime#.VAQ8Z00Jtxo.twitter\" target=\"_blank\">Joint Cybercrime Action Taskforce<\/a> (J-CAT). Housed at the Europol European Cybercrime Centre (EC3) the pilot program will be headed up by Andy Archibald, Deputy Director of the National Cyber Crime Unit at the UK\u2019s National Crime Agency. Australia, Austria, Canada, Colombia, Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, the UK and the US have pledged commitment to this effort\u2014certainly a good sign for transatlantic cooperation.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully there\u2019ll be more positive transatlantic cyber news at week\u2019s end. The world\u2019s largest military alliance, NATO, is set to gather at the Celtic Manor in Wales 4\u20135 September. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2014\/09\/01\/world\/europe\/nato-set-to-ratify-pledge-on-joint-defense-in-case-of-major-cyberattack.html?smid=tw-share\" target=\"_blank\">NATO leaders<\/a> are expected to ratify a pledge on joint defence in the case of major cyberattacks.

South Korea conducted <a href=\"http:\/\/www.state.gov\/r\/pa\/prs\/ps\/2014\/230869.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Bilateral Cyber Policy Consultations<\/a> with the US, and both countries have agreed to reinforce cyber cooperation. For its part, China has clarified the mandate of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wantchinatimes.com\/news-subclass-cnt.aspx?id=20140830000017&amp;cid=1103\" target=\"_blank\">State Internet Information Office<\/a> and President Xi Jinping has called on the PLA to develop an <a href=\"http:\/\/uk.reuters.com\/article\/2014\/08\/30\/uk-china-xi-defence-idUKKBN0GU0GH20140830\" target=\"_blank\">information warfare strategy<\/a>. While those moves seem ominous, they may in fact be a positive development in building international understanding of Chinese thinking on cyber issues. After all, \u2018<a href=\"http:\/\/www.csoonline.com\/article\/2597397\/advanced-persistent-threats\/why-our-lack-of-understanding-on-china-may-be-the-biggest-risk.html\" target=\"_blank\">our lack of understanding on China may be the biggest risk<\/a>.\u2019 We hope to do our part to bridge those misunderstandings as Team ICPC\u2019s Simon Hansen starts a three-month international fellowship at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ciis.org.cn\/english\/\" target=\"_blank\">China Institute of International Studies<\/a> in Beijing this week.<\/p>\n<p>While much of the hype of cyber conflict has focused on digital weaponry, in today\u2019s battlespace information operations are most pressing. With the Islamic State\u2019s swift successes and more foreign fighters fighting in Iraq and Syria, IS\u2019s aggressive <a href=\"http:\/\/www.politico.com\/magazine\/story\/2014\/08\/islamic-state-twitter-110418.html#.VAVz1GM08TD\" target=\"_blank\">social media campaign<\/a> is garnering wider attention. While the real impact of those efforts is hard to quantify, the US State Department\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/afp-us-cyber-warriors-battling-islamic-state-on-twitter-2014-8?IR=T\" target=\"_blank\">Center for Strategic Counterterrorism Communications<\/a> isn\u2019t taking any chances, employing an aggressive strategy of its own to counter IS\u2019s extremist content. Senior department officials recognise that social media \u2018is not a panacea, it is not a silver bullet,\u2019 but still, the battle over the digital narrative is far from \u2018worthless.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>With all the worrying news this week, we\u2019ll leave you with some good feels.
