Since July 2019, the WyoCAN grassroots volunteer committee has been researching and analyzing Wyoming's internet and computer crime, internet related, and consumer protection statutes to determine whether they adequately address today's cyber threats. Over the past five years, the committee has conducted a comprehensive redline review of the statutes and testified in front of the Wyoming Select Committee on Blockchain, Financial Technology, and Digital Innovation Technology, advocating for updates to the state's consumer protection and computer crime laws. Despite these efforts, many of Wyoming's laws remain rooted in an earlier era of technology, leaving gaps that can make it more difficult to investigate and prosecute modern cybercrime. This session will examine where those gaps exist, how they impact Wyoming citizens and businesses, and what individuals, organizations, and policymakers can do to help move meaningful reform forward.
