AI Summary

Phishing is the fraudulent practice of sending emails or messages that appear to be from reputable companies or individuals in order to obtain sensitive information, such as login credentials, passwords, money, or personal information. The bill defines "malware" as computer software designed to cause damage to a device or network. It also amends the Criminal Procedure Law to allow for a 20-year statute of limitations for prosecuting these new phishing offenses.
