But the US should not force everyone to do so.

Most countries don't even have a legal framework that really governs cyber. It is such a new phenomenon in that regard so the legal systems -- both domestic and international -- have not kept pace with the technological advances we have seen," Napolitano said.
that advancement in technology is over 40 years old.
for a government that Pays Millions each month for "Experts" to hack purposely into Government Computers to see if there secure or not you sure are out of touch....maybe you need a different kind of "Expert". if you dont want Top Secret Files jacked i suggest you keep it 1960's, Portfolio and vault it.

@DXR88... Exactly! Besides, you also have to be PROACTIVE, not REACTIVE. Regulation doesn't keep cyber crime out of computer systems.
It's like the whole gun debate. Take the guns away... Then who do we find toting around all the guns? The criminals! Laws for cyber crimes will only help for dealing with the individuals AFTER they've been apprehended & then is that 100% effective? I.e., has the US's penal system really rehabilitated that many criminals?
Our judicial system & the box its been working in doesn't work any more. It's time to change things up & consider what they think is unorthodox. "Monkey Traps" & invasion of privacy style traps may be the only way of getting at individuals preparing for destructive behavior.
Not that I want to go down a "Minority Report" path, but if someone knew before hand that my daughter were being targeted for rape, I would certainly want to be waiting behind the door with the loaded shotgun.

The US is the only country with more than 1% of it's total population in a prison of some kind.
The us does need to sort that out.
However, in terms of cyber crime, people in certain countries could hack all your details and can't be arrested simply because there isn't any laws they can be arrested for thus can walk free all the time.
That should be sorted as well, as the current attacks have only seen peoples details been handed out without any regard to what these people think of that happening with their details.
People can say hey X should be secure but that means nothing if your credit card details are grabbed and then sold off to someone who wants to make a card up with your details.

It's definitely a torrid mess & I feel a bunch of civil liberties are going to be broken in order to get a bunch of it sorted out & then solved. Once that's all done then 'maybe' some sort of normalcy can come back to life, but that's a big maybe. Murphy's Law & human nature just want to throw their own wrenches into the affair.
I just wish honest & reputable people could be trusted to get the problems solved.

then they should put all CC details on a closed network. there are ways to secure your Information from outside sources, companies are just too cheap to lazy or don't care about implementing them.

Wasn't there suppose to be a version of this concept in existence in the medical community already being used? I'm aware the military has a version, but like I said, civil liberties (you sign those away when you join up) will have to be adjusted.
Equally so, there were growing pains with it as well. At the moment there doesn't seem to be any further headaches, but they'll continue to fix it till there is.
