Has anybody here read about the european cybercrime act? It distrubs me quite much to not have seen anything on slashdot and in this list about it. Do you no what impact this thing will have on our work? It will make our work nearly impossible by making it illegal to use tools like nmap, nessus, statan under ANY circumstances. This thing will become a LAW within the next few weeks (probably months). It has got that far that there is only one voting left to make it a law, and there is nobody there who knows a thing about security and privacy and they will harm ALL of us.
