In early August the Senate postponed consideration of a bill that aimed to improve cybersecurity by making it harder to sue private companies for sharing their customers’ information without customer consent. Wyden has repeatedly argued that the benefits of this bill would be limited, and that making network owners responsible for their networks’ security would have a greater positive impact. Cybersecurity experts and the Department of Homeland Security agree. This severely flawed legislation also would not have prevented the OPM data breach.
