Hack a PC, get life in federal prison
by w1ld at 8:34 pm EST, Feb 27, 2002

WASHINGTON -- A House panel voted unanimously late Tuesday to expand the types of
hacking crimes that would be punished by life imprisonment.

on crime voted 8-0 to rewrite the Cyber Security Enhancement Act and forward a more Draconian
version to the full committee.
