Cyberthreats turn into megabucks for defense companies
http://j.mp/KNmRGZ (Politico)
Some lawmakers say the legislative push has spawned a
"cyber-industrial complex." "I believe these bills will encourage the
development of an industry that profits from fear and whose currency
is Americans' private data," said Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), speaking on
the Senate floor last week in opposition to pending cybersecurity
legislation. "These bills create a cyber-industrial complex that has
an interest in preserving the problem to which it is the solution."
