CBI calls for cybercrime laws to be updated

The Confederation of British Industry (CBI) has added its voice to the growing clamour calling for the UK’s Computer Misuse Act to be updated.

Jeremy Beale, head of e-business policy at the CBI, told the Broadband Britain Summit 2005 in London on Monday the government is taking a dangerous gamble by attempting to get more people to use the Internet without also taking steps to increase online safety.

"Awareness campaigns are important. But the Government could — as it has been encouraged to — amend the Computer Misuse Act," Beale added.

The Computer Misuse Act was passed in 1990 — years before hacking became the widespread threat it is today, and before Tim Berners-Lee created the Web. In recent years, many experts have warned that the CMA is inadequate, because it does not cover modern threats such as denial-of-service attacks. Also, its penalties are too lenient to allow UK citizens to be extradited abroad in line with the UK’s obligations under the Cybercrime Convention, or for foreign suspects to be brought here for trial.
