âMariposaâ Botnet Authors May Avoid Jail Time

,----[ Quote ]
| Three Spanish men were arrested last month 
| for allegedly building an international 
| network of more than 12 million hacked PCs 
| that were used for everything from identity 
| theft to spamming. But according to Spanish 
| authorities and security experts who helped 
| unravel the crime ring, the accused may very 
| well never see the inside of a jail cell even 
| if they are ultimately found guilty, due to 
| insufficient cyber crime legislation in 
| Spain.
