Although we do not have laws regarding specifically "hacking activities" in Brazil, we do have laws against break-ins, information theft and information damage. Of course no one will be prosecuted if your website was defaced but if you can prove that this defacement has been the cause of financial losses for your company you can suit the hacker that have defaced your website in order to make he pay for it. The main problem in a lawsuit regarding hacking activities is making the court accept the evidences. Logs can be forged. Best regards, Alberto.

I think I can! (being a ex- LDP-br translator I can tell that!) The original translation for the word "porra" is correct! Don't forget the context! Your translation will work out as an interjection, like those that you say when you step on dog "doo-doo" (easily found on streets! ;-) Your mileage may vary, though! ;-) So, the defacer's English is right! Not his behaviour though.... According to our legislation the great difference is that we don't "need" to have a specific law for electronic crimes, the closest match will do! As well as jurisprudence! Which at times is much 'stronger than the law" Meanwhile.... our legislators are working on a "more specific" code! As long damage (of any kind) and losses are implied... the "generic code" (law).... will do the job!
