Europe steps up its fight against fraud
European watchdogs have long been focusing on enforcement against corporate crime with a great focus on anti-corruption, economic sanctions and money laundering.
United States | Publication | November 2022
On October 21, 2022, the US Department of Health and Human Services, along with the FBI and the Cybersecurity Infrastructure and Security Agency (CISA), issued a bulletin warning that a cyber threat actor group known as "Daixin Team," is actively targeting US businesses, predominantly in the healthcare and public health sectors, with ransomware and data extortion operations. The bulletin contains several technical recommendations that should be passed along and, if possible, implemented by your IT teams.
But cybersecurity begins at the top of an organization, a point the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) emphasized in a proposed consent issued on October 24. In that matter, the FTC alleged that a company's failure to use appropriate information security practices was the responsibility of the CEO. The FTC alleged that the CEO did not implement, or properly delegate responsibility to implement, reasonable information security practices, by failing to hire an executive responsible for information security—although he hired executives for many other areas. In the proposed consent, that individual, for the next 10 years, will be responsible for ensuring that any future company where he is a majority owner or CEO (or similar position) has implemented and maintains a comprehensive information security program.

What appears to be a simple question is not as straightforward as one would think. One might take the view that it is just a matter of common sense whether something is a ship or not, yet it is difficult to define exhaustively what exactly a ship is, or the extent to which something forms part of a “ship”.
