Hi, As i came to know that our indian governament Offering amnesty from prosecution for hacking activities, planning and hoping to attract IT experts and ethical hackers and recruit them into the national "cyber army" Due to the lately increased number of attacks on government computers and pilfering of confidential documents by what is believed to have been Chinese hackers working under tacit consent of the Chinese government, India is considering the idea to form a line of defense against foreign intrusions, spying and potential sabotage.
According to economic times of india, the meeting at which the proposal was heard was held on July 29, and gathered National Security Advisor Shiv Shankar Menon, the director of the Intelligence Bureau, senior officials of the telecom department, IT ministry and security agencies. But, it is not only offense they are interested in. Taking the saying "The best defense is a good offense" to heart, this future cyber army will also be used to spy on other nations by breaching computer systems and networks. And since India has a very strict law against hacking - which can land the perpetrator in jail for up to three years - it will have to be changed to exempt "patriotic" ethical hackers and ofcourse we shall give the preference to them who has done a good job for showning vuln in EVM's so that in time living we shall come over such type of vuln otherwise there may be a chance to utilize in a wrong way that might effect the whole nation Regards, T.Amardeep, -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nforceit" group.
