Victory! Georgia Governor Vetoes Short-Sighted Computer Crime Bill

Recognizing the concerns of Georgia’s cybersecurity sector, Gov. Nathan Deal has vetoed a bill that would have threatened independent research and empowered dangerous “hack back” measures. S.B. 315 would have created the new crime of “unauthorized access” without any requirement that the defendant have fraudulent intent.
