Lexis®Library update: According to the Home Office, since CMA 1990 was passed 30 years ago, there has been an increased 'reliance on the digital world' and 'we are now critically dependent on the internet'. The Home Office's consultation seeks to identify whether there is activity causing harm in the area covered by CMA 1990 that is not adequately addressed by the current offences. The Home Office is keen to hear from UK organisations, in particular, academia, business, law enforcement agencies, the cybersecurity industry and private sector. The consultation closes at 11.45pm on 8 June 2021.
The Computer Misuse Act 1990—call for information can be downloaded here.
Responses to the consultation can be submitted via email to: cmareview@homeoffice.gov.uk or by post to: The CMA Review, Home Office, 2 Marsham Street, London, SW1P 4DF.
