Caller ID spoofing about to be outlawed
Forse ve l’eravate persone come me… ArtTechnica scrive un articolo in cui spiega che il 27 Giugno il senato americano ha passato la legge S.704 che trasforma in criminale chi maschera l’id, ma non solo, vi sono sanzioni pensanti anche per chi trasmette informazioni forvianti o inaccurate (”any caller identification service to transmit misleading or inaccurate caller identification information”)
Le pene sono piuttosto severe
(5) PENALTIES-
`(A) CIVIL FORFEITURE-

The amount of the forfeiture penalty determined under this paragraph shall not exceed $10,000 for each violation, or 3 times that amount for each day of a continuing violation, except that the amount assessed for any continuing violation shall not exceed a total of $1,000,000 for any single act or failure to act.
`(ii) RECOVERY- Any forfeiture penalty determined under clause (i) shall be recoverable pursuant to section 504(a).

10.000$ dollari per violazione, o 3 volte l’ammontare se ripetuta nel giorno, fino ad un massimo non superiore al $1,000,000. E per fortuna che hanno messo un limite.
