 |  Pakistan Declares Death Penalty for 'Cyber Terror' American officials can have some pretty over-the-top reactions to hackers and so-called cyber terrorists. Once, I saw a briefing comparing our own Kevin Poulsen to Osama bin Laden and Pablo Escobar -- seriously. But the U.S. has nothing on Pakistan, when it comes to cyber terror paranoia. Yesterday, Pakistani president Asif Ali Zardari signed a law making cyber terror a crime "punishable with death." Executions will only be allowed if the hack attack "causes [the] death of any person," the Prevention of Electronic Crimes law states. http://blog.wired.com/defense/2008/11/cyber-terror.html |
