UK law lets hackers get away with it

January 2001

Companies are failing to track down and prosecute hackers because they find it too expensive and difficult to investigate attacks.

Security experts claim that UK firms are prepared to write off losses of up to £50,000 because of the difficulty getting a conviction.

Earlier this year a survey by KPMG of 1250 chief executives and chief information officers in large public and private companies found 83 per cent of those that suffered security attacks did not pursue legal action.

This was put down to weak legislation, a lack of evidence, and some cases being settled out of court.
