Georgia bill might limit efforts to find internet security problems

The exceedingly vague statute runs the risk of making much security research illegal. And the long arm provisions mean it is not just limited to researchers in Georgia. History is full of instances of companies who did nothing to fix fundamental security problems until an independent researcher brought the issue into the bright daylight of responsible disclosure.
