Mikko Hypponen believes CISPA is the key to stopping cyber criminals

The controversial Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) has been praised by F-Secure’s chief researcher officer Mikko Hypponen, who argues it will aid law enforcement in the ongoing war against cyber criminals.

Hypponen, who has advised numerous law enforcement and government agencies on cyber policy and defence, told V3 CISPA is a move in the right direction. The bill is the antithesis of the controversial Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) bills and will help fight cyber crime, he said.
