Congress is once more trying its hand at national cybersecurity regulation as Lawmakers have just advanced a new bill, the “Lawful Access to Encrypted Data Act,” which calls for an end to “warrant-proof” encryption that’s disrupted criminal investigations.

This new bill may open up the door for hackers and cybercriminals to gain access to encrypted data as well.
