Abstract
2015 proved to be a difficult year for the ideals of a networked world brought together through computer and technology. The year has been characterized by a series of terrorist attacks across the globe, many having some social media, Internet, or cyber-component. If the past year was focused on individual privacy and governmental accountability, this year has shifted to global terrorism and a search for effective security.Edward Snowden, the self-appointed whistleblower of 2013 was nearly forgotten as security again took center stage. Cyber-attacks by China and North Korea; terrorist attacks by ISIS and domestic threats from homegrown terrorists; and corporate attacks designed to destroy online companies combined to make a new chapter in the world of cyber law. The year culminated with the enactment of the Cybersecurity Act of 2015. This review highlights a few of the key drivers that shaped the year of cyber law and may help anticipate the trajectory of the year to come.
