What about Mr. Muhammad Ali Raza? I haven’t been able to see his posts on your website.
@Rashid – Ali is busy with some projects these days – he will get back very soon, inshAllah
I think, the info security experts should be involved in this. Lawyers and Judges are simply unable to technically interpret the law, ensure its implemetation, or decide about the cases. How can a Laywer/ Judge who has no idea what internet is, what technologies involved. With all due respect retierd Judges, Lawyers have not role in this Law.
There is no prescribed definition of cyber crimes. And its is not at all easy to understand the cybercrime ordinance. For example, just look at Section 12, Malicious Code. i.e computer viruses etc. What can any Lawyer/ Judge interpret from this. If they read Handbook of Malicious code issued by NIMIS thats explians Section 12 of the Ordinace, they will know that this is something they are not aware at all.
