Cyber-terrorists, your game is through, 'cause now you have to answer to: America, fsck yeah!


The US Congress has, near enough, approved a law bill to create a new set of dedicated cyber-security teams within the Department of Homeland Security.


On Tuesday, the Senate passed S.315, also known as the DHS Cyber Hunt and Incident Response Teams Act of 2019, a bipartisan measure that funds the creation of both investigation and response teams at various agencies within the department.


According to co-sponsors Maggie Hassan (D-NH) and Rob Portman (R-OH), the legislation is aimed to not only create teams for investigations within Homeland Security, but also outside using the private sector. In addition to creating these teams, the bill will authorize spending to bring in private companies when needed.
