Cyber Security Bill Passed!

The U.S. House Of Representatives on Thursday voted to approve the highly controversial cyber security bill (CISPA), which stands for the Cyber Intelligence Sharing & Protection Act. The Bill was presented under the guise National Security, but in reality opens up a loop hole for companies that collect personal information about their users & in some cases want to trade of even sell these to other companies for money or other services.

This was the second time that US House of Representatives passed the CISPA. If we're "Hacked", CISPA allows the government to alert companies. Anonymous Hacking Group is calling upon websites owners to take down their normal pages & replace them with a page that explains the reasons for the change & protest. They're also asking that they help spread the word to their fellow site owners & encourage them to do the same.
