    "WASHINGTON, July 15 (Reuters) - The United States on Thursday offered up to $10 million for information that can identify or locate malicious cyber actors working at the behest of a foreign government to target critical U.S. infrastructure.

    The U.S. State Department said in a statement that 'certain malicious cyber operations targeting U.S. critical infrastructure may violate the CFAA (Computer Fraud and Abuse Act)' and that it has 'set up a Dark Web (Tor-based) tips-reporting channel to protect the safety and security of potential sources.'
