Wray painted a picture of “a blurring between different kinds of threats,” from nation-state actors working with hackers-for-hire enlisting troll farms and autonomous bots. Now some of them are using NSA-developed weapons released into the wild. Money and mischief are no longer the only motivations for these attacks.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sched.co/D0OS" class="shortcode button white outline" style="color: #ffffff;">PANEL</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="tf_swiper-slide" style="content-visibility:hidden"> <div class="slide-inner-wrap"> <div class="slide-content tb_text_wrap"> <h3><span style="color: #ccffff;">Internet Governance: Are We In A Post Multi-Stakeholder World?</span></h3> <p>2018 may be the most significant year in terms of Internet governance since the dawn of the Internet.
