So, they take over all cyber security and start mandating things so that everyone has the same security so that all of our 'vital systems' have the same level of protection.<br /><br />All that means is that if a hacker finds a vulnerability in one system then chances are that EVERY system will have it.instincthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17891346937398300935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6385085882160667044.post-65405554857634628672009-04-24T16:39:00.000+00:002009-04-24T16:39:00.000+00:00Anon @ 2:41,

They don't SAY that, and they use the cover of the DOC to situate it, but don't be fooled. This is declaring the Internet, and anything connected to it, as a military theatre of action.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6385085882160667044.post-41397278863941951942009-04-24T14:28:00.000+00:002009-04-24T14:28:00.000+00:00I would ask how it's legal to just write in a clau...I would ask how it's legal to just write in a clause in a bill like this that it's going to ignore existing "laws, regulations, rules, or policies" which are intended to prevent access to these networks, but obviously it doesn't matter to the power-hungry lunatics who wrote this bill whether it is legal or not.Waynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01790677413950555081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6385085882160667044.post-30647241925887745562009-04-24T13:34:00.000+00:002009-04-24T13:34:00.000+00:00MD, They've GOT to power-grab fast.
