On 4 July 2013 the European Parliament has adopted new EU legislation to fight cyber-crime, such as large-scale cyber-attacks. The Directive on attacks against information systems builds on rules that have been in force since 2005. While retaining a number of current provisions, it introduces new offences, such as the use of tools to commit large-scale attacks, new aggravating circumstances and higher criminal sanctions that are necessary to fight more effectively large scale attacks against information systems. |
