"Enforce the laws that are already on the books." (Now where
have I heard that before?)
When FBI refuses to investigate incidents with less than $80K
damage it only encourages the vandals. A few high-profile
arrests in lesser cases would discourage them. Easy.
The international aspects are much more challenging.
Should countries which refuse to cooperate in tracking down
offendors be classified in much the same way as terrorist
nations are handled now? Should nations refuse to connect
their portions of the Internet to such cyber-terrorists?
What about transit via other nations, dialin, satellite?
