If The DOJ Gets Its Way, Tweeting Out A List Of The ‘Worst Passwords On The Internet’ Will Be A Felony

Posted on January 22, 2015June 30, 2025 by Dissent

Orin Kerr’s not the only one with concerns about the DOJ’s proposal to revise the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA).  Over on Twitter, Nate Cardozo of EFF got some attention with his tweet claiming that an article and links to it could become a felony under the proposal.

As Nate explained to me in other tweets, this noncommercial blog (and blogger) could also be at risk due to the changes in the proposed language.

Tim Cushing has more on TechDirt.
