From the article:

"British computer hackers who severely damage the national security of any country could face life in prison under a new criminal offence proposed in the Serious Crime Bill"

From the report:

"In our study, we have focused on less-understood cyber crimes, including:

–identity theft and online scams affecting UK citizens;

–IP theft, industrial espionage and extortion targeted at UK businesses; and

–fiscal fraud committed against the Government"

So tell me again why you are throwing tomatoes at an apple-bobbing contest?
