US politicians think companies should be allowed to 'hack back' after WannaCry

Hack who back? These people have probably been lobbied by intelligence agencies for sometime (not the first time I hear about this idea) to "push for 'hack back' legislation" and now they're taking it out of context and saying it whenever a data breach happens, even if it makes no sense, such as in this case.

This is similar to how they pushed the CISPA surveillance bill as a "cybersecurity solution" (thank Dianne Feinstein).
