“The White House has decided that, with the failure of Congress to pass a comprehensive cybersecurity bill (CISPA passed in the House, but the rather different Cybersecurity Act failed in the Senate), it is going to issue some sort of executive order to deal with ‘cybersecurity issues.’ It sounds pretty similar to the Lieberman/Collins Cybersecurity Act — the one that failed to gain Senate approval. The parts that concerned us the most in the bill — concerning information sharing without real privacy protections — appear to be in this executive order, and in some ways may be worse.”
