Ask HN: What is the legality of hacking systems in lawless jurisdictions?
I'm not experience in this topic so this may be a naive question, but are you breaking US law if you attempt to exploit vulnerabilities in servers in places like, for example, ISIS controlled regions or North Korea?
- staunch 11y agoIIRC U.S. citizens are always subject to U.S. law. There's no such thing as a lawless jurisdiction. Vigilantes trying to hack ISIS probably just end up getting on NSA controlled honeypots.
- brudgers 11y ago[IANAL] North Korea has laws. It is also a sovereign state under international law.
