Cyber bill to penalize hacker havens

“Foreign countries that fail to crack down on cyber criminals operating within their borders could face a host of new economic penalties if a Senate bill introduced Tuesday becomes law.

That legislation, authored by Sens. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), aims to cut down on the growing number of ‘countries of cyber concern’ — states in which fraud schemes, cyber attacks and computer hacks targeting the United States are routinely plotted, they said.”
