Have you heard about the Homeland and Cyber Threat Act, or HACT? It’s the proposed amendment to the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act designed to provide Americans legal recourse for damages caused by foreign hackers. It would eliminate the immunity of foreign nations (and their employees or agents) that have engaged in cyberattacks against U.S. nationals.
It’s one of many different solutions being presented as a result of the massive and troubling cyberattacks originating in other countries that have occurred nationwide over the past year.
