Legal Aspects of Misattribution Caused by Cyber Deception

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This contribution introduces the concept of cyber misattribution caused by deception. As cyber threats and tactics of their originators develop, so must international law keep moving and prevent exploitation of the rule of law by removing legal gaps surrounding deceptive actions of States. Cyber deception refers to a situation when a State launches a false-flag cyber attack against another State but orchestrates the attack in a way that points towards a third (victim) country as the wrongdoer. The target State then launches retaliatory measures against the alleged wrongdoer. The legal analysis of the proposed contribution focuses on the legality of such deception and responsibility of both its author and the deceived State for damage caused to the victim State. The contribution demonstrates the gap in the rules of international responsibility for holding the orchestrator of deception responsible for the damage caused to a victim State as a consequence of misattribution. It also focuses on the legality of the deception as such. Misleading another State is a matter not per se regulated by international law, but it may result in a violation of the no-harm principle. This principle is recognized as a distinct legal norm in specific areas, but it is unclear whether and how it applies to the cyber domain. Finally, the contribution analyses whether the responsibility of the deceived State may be alleviated based on a mistake of fact that caused the misattribution.
