Israeli Indictments
I am not totally clear on the prosecution cycle in Israel but I find the indictments just reported interesting. According to the article:
The indictments accuse the suspects of industrial espionage, fraudulent receipt, uploading computer viruses, hacking computers with criminal intent, wiretapping, use of wiretaps, invasion of privacy, and managing an unauthorized database.
What’s that about wiretaps? Is that a fuzzy area in the law where they need to resort to old wiretap legislation because there is not enough to get them for installing Trojans?
And what in the world is meant by an “unauthorized database”?
