Regards, jmm French hacker sued by an antiterrorist judge Larsen, who's been arrested by the DST (french counter-intelligence agency), is accused of having disclosed national defence secrets by an antiterrorist judge. The trouble is that the informations he revealed on the Net are freely available in bookshops... According to the new French penal code, he may be condemned to five years of imprisonment plus a fine of 500.000 FF. ____________________ see the article on : http://www.transfert.net/fr/cyber_societe/article.cfm?idx_rub=87&idx_art=1685 + My story is commonplace (Larsen's interview) http://www.transfert.net/fr/cyber_societe/article.cfm?idx_rub=87&idx_art=1688 ---------------- Jean Marc Manach http://www.transfert.net 33 (0)1 42 21 59 69 / 59 mailto:jmm () transfert net
