The House of Representatives and the US Senate has voted to pass a massive $ 1100000000000 package of spending to fund federal agencies to next fall. Wrapped in this package was a bill now known as the Cybersecurity Act of 2015, formerly CISA (The Law on sharing information on cyber security)!
Despite an outcry and a campaign by many of the greatest security experts in the world and technology companies, led by the struggle for the future, Bill has go through 316-113 vote in the House and 65-33 in the Senate because it was wrapped in the larger "omnibus" bill on spending as necessary to move to avoid a government shutdown
as reported by the Intercept, Bill "removes a restriction on sharing with the national security Agency and the Pentagon direct information. eliminates a restriction on the use by the government of that information for monitoring; allows law enforcement to use the information to pursue any and all crimes, and leaves the individual agencies to scrub personal identifying information when they feel like that. "
The Center for Democracy and Technology outlined some specific problems with CISA in a blog post.
how the cyber draft legislation was released has caused much criticism. The text of the bill was released Wednesday morning, giving lawmakers 48 hours to review it before the vote. Nathan White, Senior Legislative Director for Access Now, said that due to the inclusion last minute, members of Congress "will not even know what they're going," he added "We do not have time to get an informed vote, they pulling a fast one on the Senate."
here at Golden Frog we extremely disappointed and alarmed by the adoption of the new draft law on cyber security, and call President Obama to reject it. Bill is a draft monitoring law and has alarming consequences for US citizens. As pointed Gizmodo: "The worst of this beyond the imminent privacy show is crap CISA will not make America safer. What it will do is to create a centralized information portal for millions of Americans-just the kind of thing that a clever hacker could exploit. "
