US Senate blocks cyber security measures
2015-06-12 10:53:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) The US Senate has blocked a proposal to shield companies from lawsuits when they share cyber-attack information with each other and federal agencies after Democrats opposed adding it to a defense-funding bill, Bloomberg reported. Democrats, including ranking intelligence committee member Senator Dianne Feinstein, of California, are demanding that the Senate consider it separately from the defense legislation, saying the cyber measure is too serious to be coupled to other legislation. While there is broad agreement that companies should get legal protections for sharing data about online threats, the Obama administration has privately raised concerns about parts of the measure and privacy advocates warn it may create a government surveillance regime that violates privacy rights. Obama has threatened to veto the underlying defense bill because it exceeds agreed-upon budget caps for military spending. The Senate intelligence committee in March approved the legislation.

Plane safe? Hacker case points to deeper cyber issues
2015-05-25 23:53:03| Wireless - Topix.net
Security researcher Chris Roberts made headlines last month when he was hauled off a plane in New York by the FBI and accused of hacking into flight controls via his underseat entertainment unit. Other security researchers say Roberts - who was quoted by the FBI as saying he once caused "a sideways movement of the plane during a flight" - has helped draw attention to a wider issue: that the aviation industry has not kept pace with the threat hackers pose to increasingly computer-connected airplanes.
