    Tougher penalties for a wide range of cybercrimes have been agreed by European politicians.

    A draft directive outlining minimum jail terms for some crimes was adopted by the European Parliament on 4 July.

    The directive says those found guilty of running a botnet of hijacked home computers should serve at least three years in jail.

    It also seeks to improve co-operation between member states to investigate crimes and prosecute offenders.
