House Judiciary Committee Approves Cyber Crime Bill
The House Judiciary Committee approves a bill that will make it easier
for Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to report potential criminal
behavior occurring on their networks; the measure would also increase
penalties for those found guilty of cyber crimes. While current
legislation assigns punishment based on economic damage caused by
cyber crime, the new bill, sponsored by Lamar Smith (R-Texas) would
take into consideration such factors as the intent of the attackers
and the targets.
