Russia's apparent lack of involvement in the US midterm elections has raised questions about why they didn't get involved, despite unleashing cyberattacks and disinformation during the 2016 presidential election. A brief disruption to Google traffic was reported, which could have been caused by a technical error or a malicious attack, but Google said its services were not compromised. Meanwhile, a cross-site request forgery vulnerability in Facebook exposed user data, prompting predictions of more sophisticated social engineering attacks in the future. Cybersecurity breaches continue to be a concern, with recent incidents at Nordstrom and potential government contractor breaches on the horizon. The US is moving forward with a new cybersecurity initiative called the "Moonshot," which aims to make the country a global leader on cyber security over the next decade. This effort comes after warnings from the National Security Telecommunications Advisory Committee that cyber threats pose an existential threat to American life. A proposed rule by the General Services Administration will require government contractors to disclose breaches in order to provide better visibility into government contract security.
