CHICAGO CBS: In the wake of the massive theft of information from Target customers, U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) has proposed tougher federal penalties for computer hackers who steal credit card numbers.
WBBM Newsradio’s Regine Schlesinger reports Kirk’s proposal would create mandatory sentences for defendants convicted of hacking, and any hacker found guilty of stealing more than 1 million credit card numbers would go to prison for at least 25 years.
