Government and industry have made steady efforts to heighten awareness and take action against cyber crimes, and these efforts are likely to continue. The Presidents National Security Telecommunications Advisory Committees (NSTAC) Legislative and Regulatory Task Force (LRTF) was tasked with identifying existing legal penalties for prosecuting those committing intentional and malicious attacks on the Internet. It then made recommendations about whether current penalties should be strengthened and/or whether additional penalties were needed. This report represents the NSTACs recommendations regarding cyber crime laws.
