Consider a scenario where an unknown hacker broke into my site, then used it as a stepping stone to attack VICTIM. Now, the hacker remains unknown and the VICTIM is suing me. Gosh, wound't it have been nice to have gathered additional information that my forensics team and the police could have used to track down the hacker?If someone was using your machine without your knowledge you should be innocent.
This is far from my understanding of current US law. If you are the "intermediate victim" of a relay attack, it is my understanding that you may be both civilly and criminally liable in the US. Can someone cite the relevent statute here? I don't have it handy. --john ------------------------------------- Name: John McDermott VOICE: +1 505/377-6293 FAX +1 505/377-6313 E-mail: John McDermott <jjm () jkintl com> Writer and Computer Consultant -------------------------------------
