Justice Department ... Hackers face life imprisonment

Edited on Tue Jun-27-06 10:20 AM by Veronica.Franco

Hackers face life imprisonment under 'Anti-Terrorism' Act
Kevin Poulsen,

Justice Department proposal classifies most computer crimes as acts of terrorism.

Hackers, virus-writers and web site defacers would face life imprisonment without the possibility of parole under legislation proposed by the Bush Administration that would classify most computer crimes as acts of terrorism.

Except, of course, the Bush Administration's computer crimes ... those will remain legal ...
