An approach to cyber-attack?

A proposal by Tom Giboney
Associate at Burdeshaw Associates
The U.S. Congress should issue Letters of Marque as stipulated in the U.S. Constitution to U.S. Industries in order to actively protect themselves against cyber-attacks, retrieve lost data plus destroy the cyber-attackers’ software and hardware thereby rebalancing the ongoing asymmetric cyber war.
• Cost. Issuing Letters of Marque to U.S. Industry will cost nothing to the U.S. Government while allowing U.S. Industry to develop technologies to protect itself.
• Legal. The U.S. Constitution lists Letters of Marque as one of Congress’ enumerated powers found in Article I, Section 8. No U.S. treaties have removed that power.
• Timely. Cyber-attacks by terrorists, sovereign nations, criminals or crazies against U.S. companies take place in nano-seconds. Calling the ‘cops’ (i.e. FBI) may take years to resolve but the damage is done.
• Risk. Cyber-attacks are conducted at no risk to the attackers. U.S. Industry can only passively defend, not counter attack. We need attackers to always fear when they try.
U.S. Industry needs the protection of the Letters of Marque as similarity legally afforded citizens by the Castle Doctrine: There is no duty to retreat from an intruder in one's home. With Letters of Marque, U.S. Industry can legally defend itself in real time.
Unleash the U.S. Industry to legally protect itself.
