Breaking past security systems. So like scraping publicly facing data might violate TOS, but you can't call it hacking. Using exploits to get the password hashes would be criminal hacking.
- ds 7y agoIts really not that clear and we will need to wait for the courts to figure out what means what. For instance this: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/mar/18/at-and-t-hacker-jailed-ipad-email https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/mar/18/at-and-t-... All they did was "scrape publicly facing data"
- v0tary 7y agoYea, it also only talks about bypassing/breaking passwords, what if the user has a sticky note at their desk and the password is readily exposed. Is that considered hacking? Should be. Unauthorized access regardless of how irresponsible the owner of that account is. At the same time you do not need a ToS or banner saying that. (it still remains illegal to break/trespass into someone's home without a notice saying so!) Slippery slope. I'd gander a guess this will continue to be a case-by-case call.
