Computer misuse: Brits could face LIFE IN PRISON for serious hacking offences

Re: Needed

Yet most cases of hacking cause minimal damage, at least until the adjusters get involved.

Perhaps it would be a better idea to tie the sentencing to the damage the attacker either intended to cause, or could reasonably have believed his actions may cause? And not include the cost to the victim of securing their systems like they should have done in the first place.
