As the digital world becomes more complicated, the lines between national security and cybersecurity are starting to fade. Recent cyber sanctions and intelligence moves show a reality where malware and fake news are used as tools in global politics. Every cyberattack now seems to have deeper political consequences. Governments are facing new, unpredictable threats that can’t be fought with old-school methods.
To stay ahead, we need to understand how cybersecurity is now tied to diplomacy, where the safety of networks is just as important as the power of words.

Kecheng was associated with the breach of the Treasury’s own network that came to light earlier this month. The department has also sanctioned two individuals and four organizations in connection with the North Korean fraudulent IT worker scheme that aims to generate revenue for the country by dispatching its citizens to China and Russia to obtain employment at various companies across the world using false identities.
