The Benefits of Sharing Malicious Software With US Allies

Patrick Harbin was on a special operations forces hunt team in Ukraine during the Russian invasion. He says he never got a call from Ukrainian officials saying please don't go yet, but that they wanted him to stay with them. The U.S. is offering allies this kind of help because it helps the US too, according to Harbin. Gaining access to malicious software in a foreign nation can alert tech companies about potential vulnerabilities and get those vulnerabilities patched.
