Scotland suffers St Andrew's day hacks
Computer crackers launched an attack on Scotland and Saint
Andrew Thursday, defacing prominent historical Web sites with
anti-Scottish insults. Timed to coincide with the day dedicated
to Scotland's patron saint, the attacks were designed to cause
maximum embarrassment to the sites targeted. The seven sites
targeted include the historical and cultural destinations
www.dunbar-scotland.com and  www.edinburgh-tattoo.co.uk as
well as a string of commercial sites.

Hong Kong to get tough with hackers
Hong Kong proposed a string of new measures on Friday to
combat cybercrimes including stiffer penalties for computer
hackers. Under the proposal, the present maximum penalty for
hackers with an intent to deceive would be raised to 14 years
from the present five. ``This would bring the offence in line
with other deception offences in the physical world,'' Deputy
Secretary for Security Cheung Siu-hing told a news conference.
Hackers accessing systems without authorisation currently face
a fine of up to HK$20,000 (US$2,500) and no custodial sentence.
The maximum sentence could be increased to 10 years in jail,
the government said.

Tech Groups Still Wary Of International Cyber-Crime Treaty
A coalition of high-tech companies voiced concern over the
Council of Europe's latest revisions to its international
cyber-crime treaty, saying the modified language still imposes
burdensome data preservation requirements on Internet service
providers, and could potentially restrict legal activities
online. In a statement issued today, the World Information
Technology and Services Alliance (WITSA) told Council of
Europe General Secretary Walter Schwimmer that, while the
group supported the objectives of improving international
law enforcement cooperation to keep pace with the
increasingly global nature of cyber-crime, the new draft
would do little to address concerns raised by industry groups
since the beginning of the process.
