SAN FRANCISCO--Using a honeypot to detect and surveil computer intruders might put you on the working end of federal wiretapping beef, or even get you sued by the next hacker that sticks his nose in the trap, a Justice Department attorney warned Wednesday.

I believe you will not go to prison for monitoring your on network. You will never see a case with a hacker sueing the company for proctecting themselves with a honeypot. When you go to a website, you are logged and counted by the server software and it is another way of promoting IDS protection. You see all kinds of ads at the site and your sent email advertising when you don't want it. I do think the info on the honeypot should be confidential only the the system admin and the company.
