The London conference raises topical issues in the fight against hackers for hire.
A unique international conference has kicked off in London, the capital of the United Kingdom, bringing together representatives from 35 countries, as well as key business and technology players. The main purpose of this event is to develop strategies to counter "hackers for hire"and discuss the market of tools for cyber attacks. Among the participants are leading global companies, including Apple, Google and Microsoft, which underlines the scale and significance of the event.
The conference, scheduled for two days, was initiated by the Government of the United Kingdom together with France. It is aimed at finding effective solutions to the problem of commercialization of cyber espionage and attack tools, as well as assessing the threats that these tools pose to global security, human rights protection and stability in cyberspace.
An international agreement was signed at the conference, which was called the "Pall Mall process". This document provides for coordinated actions of the participating countries to counter various cyber threats. According to the UK's National Cyber Security Center (NCSC), the market for cyber attack tools doubles every ten years, making the problem particularly urgent.
Malicious use of such tools can lead to serious consequences. Attacks can give attackers access to victims ' devices, allowing them to listen in on phone conversations, access photos, and even remotely control the camera and microphone. Especially dangerous is the so-called "Zero-Click" spyware, which operates without the need for any action on the part of the user.
The problem of "hackers for hire" providing corporate espionage services, as well as the use of such tools by hostile states, threatens the national security of not only the UK, but also other countries. In this context, Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden stressed the importance of international cooperation and working with like-minded people to solve a problem that knows no borders.
Paul Chichester, NCSC's Director of Operations, also noted the growing demand for malicious cyber operations capabilities. He stressed the need to develop the global cybersecurity sector to ensure the protection of the digital society and maintain its integrity.
Thus, the conference in London becomes an important step towards forming a unified international strategy to combat cyber threats. The joint efforts of the world's leading companies and governments of the participating countries are aimed at creating effective protection mechanisms in cyberspace, which is the key to ensuring global security in the modern world.
