Is it in the Terrorism Bill (an >apt title if you regard the British population as the victims)? I did say actionable, not criminal (though that is not excluded). If, as a result of the use or misuse of your computer (that being something I could establish as a fact) I was caused inconvenience and unnecessary work, I might be able to argue a case for damages. If the case is upheld, I suggest you would not get very far with a defence that the use was out of your control because somebody had misused your password unless you could prove who it was and that they had come by it illicitly (and that you had taken reasonable precautions to prevent that happening). -- John Underwood Use the Reply To: address for the next 30 days After that write to john@the-underwoods.org.uk Do not send anything to the From: address
