The Cybersecurity bill passed over superbowl weekend

What do you guys think of the "cyber security" bill that was rushed through congress this weekend at a vote of 400 something to 5.

They always do something like this when people are distracted by something else, like the Superbowl.

If the FBI wants user clickstream data, I can see a lot of people running browser add-ons or programs that continuously visit random URLs in order to fill their databases with noise. This is kind of like what the TrackMeNot Firefox extension does.

It wasn't over the weekend, it was last Thursday. »content.usatoday.com/communities···y-bill/1

And it doesn't authorize any new wiretapping capability. It is a research & development bill meant to develop stds to harden federal computers against attack. »www.executivegov.com/2010/02/cyb···y-house/

Re: The Cybersecurity bill passed over superbowl weekend


Is there a need to ramp up IT security?? absolutely yes

but the devil is always in the details.

When it comes to a point where a hack could be interpreted as an act of war, that is dangerous.

There will be false flag attacks everywhere all the time.

and it will all be used as an excuse to push more and more control over the internet.

When it comes to technology, politicians are as dumb as a bag of bricks, you can convince them of ANYTHING !!!
