CISPA Passes House
The controversial national cybersecurity bill known as CISPA has received 248 votes aye votes, more than the 218 necessary to pass the U.S. House of Representatives. The bill still needs to be passed by the Senate and signed by the President to become law. The White House has said President Obama will veto the bill.
