Should we follow UK examples for punishing cybercriminals?

Cyber-criminals in the UK can now be sentenced to life in prison.
The recent amendment says a person could deserve life in prison if they have committed an “unauthorized act” when they knew it was unauthorized, Forbes reports. The person would have had to know their actions would cause “serious damage” to “human welfare or to national security,” or the person had been “reckless as to cause harm".

It is of note that INTENTIONAL CAUSE OF HARM would get the cybercriminal a life sentence,,,

While life seems a little harsh I have had my identity stolen and at the time I would have voted for hanging the bastard.
