This anti-hacking proposal of the EU Commission makes provisions worse than those already in COE Cybercrime Treaty. If this proposal becomes EU law, "illegal access" will be considered a "serious attack against information systems" even if the access was unintentional. As penalty for any indirect damage in course of "illegal access" the maximum sentence must a minimum of four years. The proposal has not been published and is to be presented November 27, 2001, in Brussels.
