Russia and the United States don’t always see eye to eye. But they are co-sponsoring a resolution to preempt cyber attacks. NextGov reports that resolution is likely to be adopted by an influential international group this week.

The group is the 56-member Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe. If passed, member nations would share information with each other about how they would use cyber technology during military conflicts.

It’s a change of heart for Russia, which was blamed in 2007 for knocking out Internet access in Estonia.
