Identity theft. Online privacy. Software pirating. Viruses. Trojans. Hackers. You have heard all of these words at home, at work, and in the media. Recently there was much publicity around bills in the Senate and the House of Representatives whose goals were to stop online pirating and to protect intellectual property. The ideas behind these bills were good, but the suggested methods of implementation caused a great backlash from the private industry, and the bills did not move forward. Much of the negative feeling revolved around the idea of government trying to control private industry in the name of national security against hackers and cyber-crime. Now there is a new bill being introduced by Senators Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.), Susan Collins (R-Maine), John D. Rockefeller IV, (D-W.Va.), and Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) called the Cybersecurity Act of 2012.
