Queen Elizabeth wants harsher sentences for hackers in the UK

The UK government believes hackers who cause "catastrophic" damage should be imprisoned for life, Queen Elizabeth II said in a speech today, in which she proposed a crime bill that would update the 1990 Computer Misuse Act. The bill targets "cyberattacks which result in loss of life, serious illness or injury or serious damage to national security, or a significant risk thereof," as well as attempts to steal trade secrets.
