Proposed ‘hack back’ law would not have stopped WannaCry

Georgia Representative Tom Graves has proposed changing the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) to allow organizations to fight back when being attacked online.

Even then, a ‘hack back’ law would not have prevented the spread of WannaCry to individuals.”]
