So far we've been looking at the legality of this act in terms of the relevant British law. However, did anyone check that all of those infected computers were, in fact, in Britain? I suspect that not only did this go unchecked, but that, in fact, a large number were in other jurisdictions. So, leave us suppose that one of the said machines was here in the Great White North. Our criminal code states that anyone who, without colour of right (I love that phrase) alters (I think it's alters, but it might be modifies) any data on a computer system is guilty of an offence.
