A group of lawmakers has introduced a bill that would allow Americans to sue foreign countries or their agents that engage in cyberattacks against Americans in federal or state courts.
The Homeland and Cyber Threat (HACT) Act would eliminate immunity given to foreign governments, including their officials, employees, or agents so that Americans could sue them in court for monetary damages for personal injury, harm to reputation, or damage to or loss of property resulting from a cyberattack.
