Broad support for federal action and an unprecedented distributed denial of service attack (DDoS), which crippled a host of popular websites across the United States and Europe in October 2016, might not be enough to push the federal government toward implementing national cybersecurity laws in the near future.

So something has to give; it’s just a question of when or whether or not this is the tipping point. Not sure it is yet, but at some point, it will be.”
