On Tuesday at the University of Texas at Austin School of Law, the Federalist Society invited Lawfare’s Bobby Chesney, Matt Tait, and Steve Vladeck to talk about legality and warfare in cyberspace. They discussed the technical and legal underpinnings of Russian interference in the 2016 election, ways of responding to Moscow’s behavior, how cyberattacks on domestic infrastructure might blur the line between civilian and military targets, and why the Russians might want to get caught inside U.S.
