He was accused of bombing the port's computer system with thousands of uninvited electronic messages on 20 September 2001 but the jury cleared him after believing his defense that there is another hackers had broken into his computer and used it to launch the attack.
The end of this case, the teenage was found not guilty because the prosecution case failed to convince the jury that the teenage was responsible for the attack.
Comment:
In my opinion, the defendant should have full responsibility towards their own system and to keep their system always be protected. He need to make sure that no one can easily access his system and act in a way that could harm other people, company or country on the internet.
In this technological age, computer crime such as internet fraud, spamming, hacking, defamation and etc has become a major concern to all society. Many people tend to take advantage from it that may result in someone's loss. Hence, many program and software has been develop to enhance the security as well as reduce the issues.
In Malaysia, if the person found guilty for such offense, he will be convicted under Section 4 Computer Crime Act 1997 unauthorized access to facilitate further offense which he may either to pay maximum of RM150,000 or imprisonment up to 10 years or both.
Finally, every person who get access on the internet world need to have an understand of the concept of public is not always public. They need to have a characteristic of self regulatory to behave in ethical manner and respect other who surfing on the internet.
