The Impact of the U.S. Presidential Election on Corporate ESG Programs
Labeled derisively by the political right as "woke capitalism" and championed by the left as a vital component of sustainable business, environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues feature prominently in the national political conversation ahead of the 2024 U.S. presidential election. Companies seemingly face the prospect of an uncertain business environment full of competing regulatory and political priorities, as well as reputational risk stemming from the divide. Despite the uncertainty, however, ESG will remain a prominent feature of the business environment. Developing defensible ESG programs will, therefore, assist organizations in managing risk and realizing opportunities regardless of the election outcome. RANE spoke with Ashley Walter, Partner-in-Charge of the ESG practice at Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, to help organizations chart ESG strategies that will withstand clashing political will.

The Wider Implications of Climate Migration in the U.S.
The United States is a nation always on the move. From the country's colonial roots to the modern post-COVID-19 Sun Belt boom, Americans have long migrated in search of better opportunities, chiefly by pursuing industrialization, new overseas markets and conquest. Now, a new factor is beginning to drive American migration: climate change.

In the same way that companies use LinkedIn to spot and recruit talent, intelligence agencies use it to spot and recruit spies.
Espionage and LinkedIn: How Not to Be Recruited As a Spy
The risk that hostile intelligence services will use LinkedIn as a recruitment tool has been widely reported. One such report, by Mika Aaltola at the Finnish Institute of International Affairs published in June 2019, focused on Chinese activity on LinkedIn. The phenomenon is not, however, confined to Chinese intelligence operations. All intelligence agencies exploit the platform, something illustrated by the Iranian-linked hack of Deloitte in which LinkedIn was used to set a virtual honey trap. Even so, the number of reported cases attributed to the Chinese -- including cases I've written on like that of former intelligence officers such as Kevin Mallory, or corporate espionage cases such as one involving an engineer at GE Aviation -- suggest their intelligence services are among the most active and aggressive users of LinkedIn as a recruitment tool. And this makes mitigating the threat critical, whether on LinkedIn or any other social media platform.

Hacking is far more affordable than traditional warfare.
Hacking: Another Weapon in the Asymmetrical Arsenal
Iran's Islamic Revolution could play out, in part, online. On Jan. 4, the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace published a report describing the country as a "third-tier cyberthreat." The report's authors note that despite Iran's success with cyberattacks such as Shamoon and a spear-phishing campaign that hit Deloitte and several other companies, Iranian attacks generally feature poor tradecraft. As a result, investigators haven't had much trouble tracking cyber operations back to the Islamic republic, whether because the attack code contained Farsi terms or because its associated IP address traced to Iran. Iranian spear-phishing attacks, likewise, frequently suffer from their perpetrators' poor command of the English language. But even if its capabilities pale in comparison with those of Russia or China, Iran is still a cyberthreat, albeit a third-tier one. The Carnegie Endowment's report about the country's adoption and use of an asymmetrical weapon such as hacking called to mind the way

Predators stalk the internet and social media channels looking for easy targets.
To Stay Safe on the Internet, Don't Stand Out From the Herd
While I've written about the dangers of making oneself a target on social media before, two cases -- one in the United States and one in Germany -- had me thinking about the intersection of the internet and the attack cycle -- or attack cycles really, because there is a difference between being targeted by criminals, terrorists and hostile intelligence officers -- as well as the variety of operations these malefactors are capable of.
