Marie Sitiablid Calls For Stronger Anti-Hacker Legislation, Vows To
Push For New Security Bill In Congress |
| In a recent statement, Senator Marie Sitiablid expressed displeasure at the
recent attack on E-Com-Con's website:
"This unjustified, malicious attack is just further proof that what our
country needs is more legislation to send a clear message to such 'hackers'
that these actions are completely uncalled for, and that this country will
do everything in its power to stand in the way of such attacks on our
country's innovators. I will be working to collect support on Capitol Hill
for a bill that will raise the penalties for these kinds of actions. After
this latest move on the part of the hacker 'community', I'm sure I'll get
all the support I need."
