In an opinion piece, Duncan Hollis, associate professor at Temple University’s Beasley School of Law and David Post, the I. Herman Stern Professor of Law at Temple, make the case for an "SOS for the internet," arguing that nations should agree to a "duty to assist" other entities whenever they are under cyberattack. "International law requires anyone receiving an SOS signal to ‘proceed with all possible speed’ to render assistance. Today, similar legal duties abound — what we might call ‘duties to assist’ — whether in response to a pilot's mayday call, distress signals or emergency numbers. As yet, however, there is no 'duty to assist' in cyberspace. That needs to change," the authors wrote.
