Law allowing agencies to share cyber threat data expires, creating security risk – November 2025

Author/Source: Justin Katz See the full link here

Takeaway

This article explains that a law allowing government agencies and private companies to share information about online threats has ended. This means it could be harder for them to work together to protect against cyberattacks in the future.

Analogy/Comparison

It’s like a town’s police department and local businesses used to have a special way to quickly share tips about crimes, but now that special way is gone, making it harder to catch criminals fast.

Why It Matters

This law ending could make it harder for the government to stop serious cyberattacks. For example, if a company sees a new type of online attack, it might not be able to quickly share that information with government agencies that protect our country’s computer systems, leaving more people and organizations at risk from threats like those from China or Russia.
