Hacker criticizes cyber crime laws
Daniel Thomas writes in Computing:
Gary McKinnon, the UK hacker facing extradition to the US accused of 'the biggest military computer hack of all time', is calling for international computer crime laws to be passed.
McKinnon, who faces up to 70 years in a US jail, says common legislation would ensure that computer crimes are treated in the same way, regardless of geographical location.
He also says there should be a differentiation between malicious computer crimes that cause damage and those that involve unauthorised access.
'The highest sentences should go to the virus writers,' he said.
