The White House issued a memorandum directing the National Coordination Center (NCC) to establish a program authorizing "participating companies" to conduct cyber surveillance and cyber influence operations against foreign cyber-enabled transnational criminal organizations (CE-TCOs) under the control and oversight of the federal government. The program aims to leverage the innovative capabilities of the private sector to enhance the United States' ability to combat transnational cybercrime, fraud, and other predatory schemes. The program will be overseen by co-executive directors from the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security, and will require participating companies to contract with both departments, ensuring rigorous vetting and adherence to operating procedures.
