practically speaking
by noteworthy at 1:34 pm EST, Feb 15, 2015

Patricia Princehouse's friend:

It takes half a second for a baby to throw up all over your sweater. It takes hours to get it clean.

Eric Grosse:

Our business depends on trust. If you lose it, it takes years to regain.

Jennifer Granick:

When I talk to people in D.C., they really do approach the cybersecurity issue with a default belief that government has something to offer and that government's going to be helping. And when you talk to people out here in Silicon Valley, they approach it with the default belief that the government has no idea what they're doing when it comes to computer security and can't be trusted.

Chris Strohm:

Law enforcement agencies have been trying to convince the companies to make the data available for legitimate investigations.

Francois Hollande:

The big operators, and we know who they are, can no longer close their eyes if they are considered accomplices of what they host.

Robert Graham:

This War on Hackers is likely to be no more effective than the War on Drugs.

Tom Abate:

When asked what individuals could do to protect themselves, Parisa Tabriz, who leads the Chrome security team, recommended strong passwords.

John P. Holdren, Assistant to the President for Science and Technology:

New attack vectors are opening faster than we can identify them.

Lee Tien, senior staff attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation:

The theme of the language is to increase penalties in a number of places without really clarifying the vagueness or uncertainty that has been problematic in prosecutions.

Shawn Tuma:

Practically speaking, whether the penalties are lowered or increased, they will probably not have a significant deterrent effect that would have any measurable impact on cybersecurity.

Practically speaking, unless the government can get a lot better at definitively attributing these cyber attacks to ascertainable people or organizations, these proposed changes will have very little real world impact on cybersecurity.

Practically speaking, when the bad actors who are conducting these cyber attacks against the US and US companies are sponsored by foreign states -- or are the foreign states themselves -- these proposed changes will have very little real world impact on cybersecurity.
