A British teenager has been cleared of launching a denial-of-service attack against his former employer, in a ruling that delivers another blow to the UK's Computer Misuse Act.
A teenager accused of unleashing an "e-mail bomb" on his former employer will appear in court on Tuesday in what will be a test case for the UK's Computer Misuse Act.
A single law against hacking and spamming could stop the UK looking like a soft touch, according to the Communications Management Association.
The Computer Misuse Act -- which became law many years before the Internet entered the mainstream -- is a failure and needs a major overhaul, according to some analysts.
