Microsoft Does About Face on CISPA

CISPA has just lost a powerful backer, with Microsoft withdrawing its
support for the controversial cyber security bill saying any law must
allow them to honor privacy promises they make to their customers.
.
Microsofts change of heart regarding the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and
Protection Act (CISPA) follows the United States House of Representatives
decision to pass the bill by an overwhelming margin of 248 to 168 on
Thursday.
.
Responding to queries from CNET on Friday, Microsoft said any law must
allow "us to honor the privacy and security promises we make to our
customers."
.
The tech giant further added it hopes to "ensure the final legislation
helps to tackle the real threat of cybercrime while protecting consumer
privacy."

CISPA is supposed to amend the National Security Act of 1947 to further
facilitate the sharing of cyber security intelligence between the
government and the private sector, as well as between private companies.
In the bill, Cyber threat intelligence has been loosely defined as efforts
to degrade, disrupt or destroy networks or systems owned by both the US
government and US corporations. The bill further seeks to counter the
theft or misuse of private or government information, including
intellectual property. CISPA further does away with legal liability for
the private companies who collect and share information. Critics fear the
bill will create what the Electronic Frontier Foundation described as a
backdoor wiretap into our daily communications.
.
By both militarizing the administration of cyber security, creating a
broadly based notion of what information can be shared, and allowing the
government to use that information in any capacity once it has been
obtained, US Representative Ron Paul describing CISPA as "Big Brother writ
large.
