Sony Hack Revives Push for CISPA Draconian Data Powers


Listen Later

When news first surfaced of a hacking data attack on Sony, the FBI reported that North Korea was responsible.  However, both tech experts and everyday Americans found some rather large holes in the official narrative.
The supposed hackers threatened to cause physical terrorism if Sony proceeded with its release of the movie, The Interview.  
Following much hype and speculation over the hack, Sony decided to release the film in select theaters and online outlet.  (By the way, I watched the movie and it's awful.)
On Christmas day, a supposed different group of hackers took down gaming networks that affected Playstation and Xbox users, among others.  Credit card data was exposed and the networks were inoperable for a day.  On the same day, another publication warned that 2015 would be the year of the hospital hack.
No matter who is actually behind these attacks, we can look at history and realize that crises like these will be used to advance agendas.  We have already heard from Dianne Feinstein and John McCain who have announced CISPA type legislation must be a top priority for 2015.  They claim they want to secure the internet.  The real goal is quite different.  
Watch the report to learn more about what's ahead as data breaches like these continue.
