Seems reasonable, it's extremely difficult for hacking by itself to be a particularly serious crime. Of course, murdering someone by hacking their medical equipment is still murder.
- michaelmrose 10y agoIts extremely easy for it to cause thousands to millions in damages. If I burned thousands -> millions in property even if nobody was hurt it would still be a serious crime. Its also a potentially lucrative area which ought to be counterbalanced with high consequences.
- ryanlol 10y agoI was charged with criminal damage (like you would for damaging ones physical property) on top of hacking charges. Seems fair to me, I really don't see why cybercrime deserves special treatment. >Its also a potentially lucrative area which ought to be counterbalanced with high consequences. Yeah, copyright infringement is even more lucrative. Does that mean we should start locking up people for whats currently civil copyright infringement?
- Nutomic 10y agoIt's weird that bankers never get sued, after causing millions in damage.
- GirlsCanCode 10y agoHuh?
- ryanlol 10y agoBankers get sued all the time. You're probably talking about criminal charges anyway, in which case the answer is that they rarely do anything that illegal, and when they do it's not very easy to prove.
