Verrrrry interesting. The dominoes are starting to fall. I wonder how many countries are now working on this sort of legislation.
From PSnews:
New laws that crack down on cybercrime and pave the way for Australia to join international efforts have been announced by the Attorney-General, Robert McClelland.
Mr McClelland said the Cybercrime Legislation Amendment Bill 2011 sets out the legislative framework to enable Australia’s accession to the Council of Europe Convention on Cybercrime – the world’s only binding international treaty on cybercrime.
“Australia must have appropriate arrangements domestically and internationally to be in the best possible position to fight cybercrime and cyber security threats,†Mr McClelland said.
The “cyber” curtain (yes, I choked there) is starting to fall across the globe.
