The United States has decided to save white hackers from federal harassment. Experts believe that its activities are important for ensuring the security of computer systems.
The US Department of Justice has announced that it will no longer harass or accuse “white” hackers. Such hackers look for vulnerabilities in computer systems only to inform their owners and increase security.
In the United States, a law on computer fraud and abuse was passed in 1986. He prosecuted everyone behind any case of “unauthorized access” to the computer system. Now they have decided to change that. “The new guidelines state for the first time that one should not blame a security check without malicious intent,” the ministry said in a statement.
However, this amnesty does not apply to private companies and state law enforcement. First, it will be able to continue to prosecute “white” hackers in court, and second, fight them through state laws.
