Anyone else out there from Australia, or was the internet legislation of '99 enough to make everyone leave? I'm struggling to understand how these laws could passed and enforced - essentially, it may soon be illegal to have scanners or hacking tools in your possession, and all passwords and security measures must be handed over to the government on request. Does anyone know if these kinds of measures are enforced anywhere else in the world, or has my government just gone nuts? http://www.computerworld.com.au/idg.nsf/All/D115FFE5F1AF211DCA256A7F0001FACE !OpenDocument&NavArea=Home&SelectedCategoryName=News ******************************************************************* Ari Weisz-Koves Senior Systems Engineer @www Internet Co. +61 2 8353 6648 PGP Fingerprint: 1DBF CDD8 ED19 BFB8 9ED1 738B 62A2 9DBC 7F3F FFD4 ******************************************************************* -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This list is provided by the SecurityFocus Security Intelligence Alert (SIA) Service For more information on SecurityFocus' SIA service which automatically alerts you to the latest security vulnerabilities please see: https://alerts.securityfocus.com/
