Hacking or cracking, refers to unauthorized access including the introduction of computer viruses, is punishable by a fine ranging from one hundred thousand pesos to maximum commensurating to the damage. With imprisonment from 6 months to 3 years.

This is just one of the salient features of RA 8792 otherwise known as the E-Commerce Law. It is signed into law on June 14, 2000, which took effect on June 19, 2000.

I was wondering how strong is this law, considering the fact that a lot of cyber crimes have been occuring these days. From hacking your private photos in friendster, creating fake login page to grant access to your email, up to targeting javascript of your site by php injection of some sort just to copy your script and erase files into your site!

This may be fun to some. Others are even flaunting that they are hackers. I am not a lawyer nor an I.T this is not my expertise but as a civil member of society, shouldn’t we just RESPECT the right to privacy and right to personal files.

What the heck is the essence of this law?
