What happened
The White House memorandum permits vetted private companies to join US offensive cyber operations, but bars participation in operations with Critical Outcomes, such as those that could cause loss of life. The author says France keeps active cyber defence, including hacking techniques under the EncroChat legal basis, solely with state authorities. The article cites Trump v. Slaughter, which lets the president remove independent agency leaders, as weakening oversight. No CVEs or technical indicators are given.
