Cyber Security Enhancement Act of 2002
Several years ago, Congress determined that there was still too much leeway for certain
types of computer crimes, and some activities that were not labeled ???illegal??? needed to
be. In July 2002, the House of Representatives voted to put stricter laws in place, and to
dub this new collection of laws the Cyber Security Enhancement Act (CSEA) of 2002.
The CSEA made a number of changes to federal law involving computer crimes.
The act stipulates that attackers who carry out certain computer crimes may now get a
life sentence in jail. If an attacker carries out a crime that could result in another??™s bodily
harm or possible death, the attacker could face life in prison.
