Risk Return Trade off in BPOs

India is embarking on a major review of the Information Technology Act which was passed with effect from October 17, 2000. Recent frauds of the Delhi MMS case and Gurgaon BPO Cases have increased the demand from the media for "Stricter IT Laws". In this scenario, Naavi.org is presenting a series of suggestions for the consideration of the MCIT while addressing the amendments and request comments from the public so that the Ministry will have the benefit of an opportunity to consider the public views in this regard.

Spam	Squatting	Terrorism	Data Protection	CRAT	Hacking	Stalking	Abuse
Interception	CRAC	Secured DS	Marriage	Civil Liabilities for all offences	Enhancing Civil Liabilities	Miscellaneous	.

Suggestion VI: Hacking

In Section 66, the words …”Commits Hacking” is to be deleted and replaced with “is liable for punishment as per sub section (2)”. Heading has to be modified to delete the word “Hacking” and replaced with “Injury to Data Residing inside a Computer”.

Subsection (2) to be correspondingly modified by replacing the words “whoever commits hacking” with "whoever commits an offence as per subsection (1)”

(Comments welcome)
