The only thing that keeps popping into my mind as I read this: is it illegal to hack foreign computer systems?
What are the varying levels of legality? (e.g. hacking a French company would see you extradited, hacking Iran/North Korea could bring Federal charges, but Russia.. China..?)
- kube-system 7y agoThere are enough laws in most places thoroughly covering these kinds of activities that you can safely assume it’s breaking at least some law in some jurisdiction. And even if you wouldn’t be in the jurisdiction that prohibits it and/or wouldn’t be extradited for it, that doesn’t technically make it legal.
- thenewnewguy 7y agoMost laws don't care about the nationality of the victim - i.e. in a legal sense yes it is illegal. Whether or not the governments would work together to extradite/charge you, on the other hand, is a different story.
