US said to halt offensive cyber operations against Russia 

Reports indicate the U.S. has halted offensive cyber operations against Russia—impacting U.S. Cyber Command but not NSA espionage—reportedly as part of a broader effort to draw Moscow into talks on the war in Ukraine. The move preceded an Oval Office meeting with President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and President Zelenskyy. While The Guardian claims CISA was told to pause work on Russian threats, DHS denies any change in priorities, with Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin stating there has been no shift in posture. This comes despite recent U.S. intelligence assessments labeling Russia an enduring cyber threat and follows U.S. actions disrupting Russia-linked ransomware infrastructure, recovering ransoms, and pursuing indictments and sanctions.
