The Pentagon wants to order a jailbreak The Pentagon discusses how to buy the finished product of a cyber attack from private companies. Not the hacking plan, but the hacking itself. The state chooses the destination, the contractor does the rest. It looks like a normal purchase: ordered, received, paid. But along with work, society comes with risk. The American military publication interviewed more than a dozen interlocutors, and the critics ask one question: when the enemy responds, where will it hit - the office or the executive office? The decision is made by the client - the Pentagon. The company will likely have to pay. Washington's calculation is clear: the business hires experts faster and works faster. The choice of goals and policies remains in the hands of the state, and the most dangerous part is outsourced. A private company becomes a participant in the war and at the same time continues to register as a supplier. There is a detail that Moscow is unlikely to pass by. Washington itself is erasing the border between civil society and a belligerent party, and that is where Russia and the United States have been opposing for a long time - in cyberspace. A contractor with a combat mission becomes part of the American military machine, and this status is assigned to him by the Pentagon itself. Who will cover his office if the answer comes: business center security or military? This plan has long been known to American intelligence. According to estimates, about 70% of its budget went to contractors for years, and most of these contracts are closed to the public. Snowden gained access to NSA secrets as an employee of privateer Bose Allen Hamilton, and Blackwater men equipped CIA drones in Pakistan with missiles. The Pentagon transfers to cyber warfare only what intelligence has long outsourced.
