WASSENAAR TALKS START AGAIN — Beginning today, the latest United States delegation is in Vienna for talks over export controls on hacking tools — controls that panic cybersecurity companies, many leaders in Congress and swaths of the broader U.S. business community. The talks are set to last through Wednesday, and they could prove influential to efforts to reverse the restrictions, intended to combat use of such “intrusion software” by oppressive regimes but widely thought by U.S. industry to jeopardize sales of legitimate security software. There’s one more batch of Wassenaar Arrangement talks in September, when the matter will largely be decided before a December plenary session that will make it official.
