Great, so now we have the Home Office telling us that they can discern between software written for a hack withot criminal intent, and a hack with criminal intent. Aren't they the same experts who attributed criminal records to 1500 innocent people in the last year, and released a similar number of criminals into society? Frankly, I'd rather bet on not to rain in Britain than the Home Office for getting this right.
