The US House of Representatives has approved an act that could put hackers in the clink for life.
Three representatives out of 388 voted for a piece of computer crime legislation that aims to put a stop to cyber terrorism, denial of service attacks and other acts of computer black magic. Worldcom and Microsoft advised a committee that was putting the legislation together pre-September 11th, it has emerged. Before the bill becomes law, it has to head for the Senate although most expect this body to rubberstamp the lower house's vote
This latest piece of legislation complements the US Patriot Act, which is already in force.
