Exploit to Attack?

“Any cyber operation that results in death or significant damage toproperty qualifies as an armed attack.” –Talinn Manual

The Tallinn Manual

• States may not knowingly allow cyber infrastructure located intheir territory to be used for acts that adversely affect other States.

• States may be responsible for cyber operations directed against otherStates, even though those operations were not conducted by thesecurity agencies. (i.e. hacktivist)

PwC

• The International Group of Experts agreed that cyber operations thatmerely cause inconvenience or irritation do not qualify as usesof force.

• States may respond to unlawful cyber operations that do not rise tothe level of a use of force with countermeasures.

• A State that is the victim of a cyber “armed attack” may respond byusing force. The force may be either cyber or kinetic.
