The Directions were roundly criticized by tech lobby groups that pointed out requirements such as compelling clouds to store logs of customers' activities was futile, since clouds don't log what goes on inside resources rented by their customers. Yet the Directions allowed incident reports to be sent by fax – good ol' fax – to CERT-In, which offered no evidence it operates or would build infrastructure capable of ingesting or analyzing the millions of incident reports it would be sent by compliant organizations. The Directions were purported to improve the security of local organisations, and to give CERT-In information it could use to assess threats to India. The Directions require verbose logging of users' activities on VPNs and clouds, reporting of infosec incidents within six hours of detection - even for trivial things like unusual port scanning - exclusive use of Indian network time protocol servers, and many other burdensome requirements. Updated India's Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) and the local Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) have extended the deadline for compliance with the Cyber Security Directions introduced on April 28, which were due to take effect yesterday. According to Winkler's memorandum, the government plans to seek sentences of 41 months for Stephanie Popp, owing to her supervisory role in the harassment campaign, 37 months for Gilbert, 30 months for Zea, and 24 months for Stockwell. It was inconsistent with everything he stood for as a police officer for decades."Ĭooke is the first of those who have been charged and have pleaded guilty to be sentenced. "He is utterly remorseful for his involvement in misleading the Natick police. "As a result of being drunk, Mr Cooke did not fully comprehend the extent of the misconduct toward the victims and his judgment was impaired he found it nearly impossible to believe after prior discussions that his friends and colleagues could or would engage in surveillance, role play, and threatening deliveries that he learned may have happened." "Although it is no excuse, in the August 20-22 time period, when the witness tampering occurred, Mr Cooke was in India alone and inebriated," wrote Winkler. Cooke then committed a second crime when he interfered with the police investigation that followed, obstructing officers whom he would have called colleagues only years earlier."Ĭooke's attorney, Susan Winkler, in a separate memorandum to the court, argued for leniency, citing Cooke's limited involvement in the scheme and attempting to justify his actions by citing his concern about keeping his friend and former police department colleague Brian Gilbert out of trouble. "Instead, he agreed to harass them online in service of a corporate objective.
"As a retired police captain with 27 years’ service, Cooke should have appreciated the impact a fraction of this conduct would have on the victims," wrote Acting US Attorneys Nathaniel Mendell and Seth Kosto. The Justice Department in its sentencing memorandum argued that Cooke should get a 30-month sentence.
