The Cabinet on Monday gave the final approval to the draft of Cyber Security Act, 2023, keeping the offenses under its four sections as non-bailable.
The offenses are related to intrusion into important information infrastructures, damaging computer and computer systems, cyber terror activities, and hacking related crimes.
The approval came from the Cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina at her office here in the city.
The draft cyber security act has been designed to replace the existing Digital Security Act, 2018.
"In the draft law, the offenses under four sections are non-bailable, the offenses under the remaining sections are bailable," said Cabinet Secretary Md Mahbub Hossain while briefing reporters after the meeting.
The four sections are 17, 19, 27 and 33, he said.
