New law in spyware, hijack bowrser

[Hellfighter]

Last week the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 29, the "Securely Protect Yourself Against Cyber Trespass Act," dubbed the SPY ACT. The bill was introduced by Congresswoman Mary Bono (R-CA) and cosponsored by Congressman Greg Walden (R-OR). The SPY ACT prohibits practices such as hijacking a consumer's homepage and keystroke logging. Under the SPY ACT the Federal Trade Commission would have the authority to enforce financial penalties for those who knowingly violate the Act. Additionally, the House passed H.R. 744, the "Internet Spyware Protection Act," which would penalize, through fines or prison sentences, violators who use spyware to steal information, damage a computer or commit fraud.
