But the story doesn't actually say that Hegseth ordered a halt to current cyber operations against Russia, only a halt to planning conducted for such operations. It revealed that planning for cyber operations against Russia had not been cancelled, but that Cyber Command had been ordered to halt currently active operations against Russia. So now we know, at least per the state of current reporting on this, that Cyber Command has been ordered to temporarily halt current offensive cyber operations against Russia, but that planning these operations and preparing for them continues.
