Crimes Decree now includes Computer Crimes
6-Feb-2010 03:20 PM

For the first time in Fiji, a law has been created to deal with all types of computer offences.

The Crimes Decree includes offences dealing with people going into other people's email accounts without authorization, which means that computer hacking is now an offence.

Speaking at the Government media liaison officer’s workshop at the Police academy yesterday, former judge Nazhat Shameem said it is an offence if a person copying or moving data to any other place in the computer or to a data removable storage device.

A person commits a summary offence caused by unauthorised modification of data held in a computer will be imprisonment for 10 years.

WEEKLY POLL
How do you feel about the rise in fuel prices and increase in taxi and bus fares?
Aritema Navonicagi, 52 “Well in my opinion it is quite early to increase bus and taxi fares because Fiji is not settled politically.”
Nemaniu Qalo, 47 “The bulk of Fiji’s population live in the low income category and we low income earners have very little control over this increase. It will eventually affect everything else, especially food which is the source of livelihood.”
Tara Wati, 50 “I spend approximately $4.50 from my home to the place I sell food every day. I receive very little profit after I deduct all my expenses.”
