The legislation would encourage the private sector to share cyber threat information with the Department of Homeland Security's National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center, according to a White House fact sheet. Companies would qualify for targeted liability protection, but would have to comply with certain privacy restrictions.

Unlike the disastrous Husseincare website, the contract will go to the lowest bidder.

The man is a black Hitler and we know how that ended...I think his attempts at taking over the controls of the “Internet” will cause much of the left to depart from him. He knows his days are numbered so he is moving to cause as much destruction as possibe. His fruits reveal his true nature.

From the article: “On Monday, Obama proposed strengthening laws against identity theft by requiring notification when consumer information is hacked and protecting students’ private data.”

Is the identity theft only via the Internet and does it exclude illegal aliens? He doesn’t seem to want to prosecute or have any issues with illegals that engage in identity theft or using false identities.

Gee, it’s almost as if the recent hack-attack on Central Command was timed to justify more repression...

This IS the most transparent administration after all.
