    Seriously? The government should be asking the private sector for help protecting national secrets since China has been hacking into the Department of Defense on more than a few occasions. I wouldn’t trust Janet Incompetano with any info.

      Exactly what I thought. The Government has this grand illusion that they are better than the private sector at most things when in reality it is quite the opposite.

      I see this as just another power grab on information. More info that has to flow through the gov’t grimy fingers.

    Wait a minute, this is the same fed administration that had the IRS target conservative nonprofits, hacked into the Associated press and took information and lied about Benghazi for 5 weeks in order to win an election and happened to cost 4 Americans their lives? No thanks on the sharing invitation. Just put the info in an envelope and send it to my P.O.Box.

      Sargeant Major – The president says he doesn’t know anything about anything, so none of the scandals coming from his thug filled administration are HIS fault.

    Words and language are very important. I noticed that government here proposes to “share” cyber security information…by monitoring the internet traffic flowing to busnesses.

    And how might they propose to define (or later broaden the definition of) a ‘cyber threat’? Does a group of individual users who all point their browser window to a certain web site address at the same time constitute a de facto cyber threat (which would include such actions which are not performed with any ill intent, i.e. a small site w/ limited server capacity ‘goes viral’ and then crashes, as opposed to an orchestrated DDOS intended to temporarily render a site inaccessible).

    Would a White House administration, the military, or a business view dissemination or discussion of undesirable information as a ‘cyber threat’ and react accordingly? Take the pipeline spill in Arkansas as an example. Might an administration quietly employ these kinds of tools to keep an incident like this off of as many people’s radar as possible? And how would we even know it if they did?

      They may view you as a cyber threat for asking the question.
