- tptacek 12y agoI agree, and so does the Senate. Two things: The bill defines a "cybersecurity threat" as: (7) CYBERSECURITY THREAT.—The term ‘‘cybersecurity threat’’ means an action, not protected 1 by the First Amendment to the Constitution of the 2 United States, on or through an information system 3 that may result in an unauthorized effort to ad- 4 versely impact the security, availability, confiden- 5 tiality, or integrity of an information system or in- 6 formation that is stored on, processed by, or 7 transiting an information system. Second, this bill doesn't create any new criminal statutes.
