interesting stuff. *gulps*
Now that's some serious stuff......
About time, others take this thing serious... I'm still waiting for Canada to take things more serious.... So far, the only thing I've noticed is a crackdown on pedophiles and kiddie porn...
Scary stuff, but they don't know what a hacker really is. It seems to me that Europe is just as bad as the U.S., or every other country so far, when it comes to claiming that hackers break into the system for malichious intent. Oh well I guess they will never learn.
I find some of that interesting... Every victim is the 'spreader' of a computer virus. Does that mean all the victims must go to jail? :) Also, the gambling sites... given that they are financial sites, almost like banks, you would expect them to take security seriously even without legislation to go after criminals.

It defines hacking as gaining unauthorized access to an information system with the intent to cause damage or for economic gain.
They have the wrong idea's about hackers. They are talking about script kiddys and crackers and blameing it on hackers. That's not cool! :mad: :confused: :eek:
I would doubt anything to serious will happen in Canada. Mostly because hacker’s generally labeled terrorist here.
Terrorists ,hackers well in the us there the same thing......but also in the us al gore invented the internet
