A hacker is someone who gains unauthorized access to information or content. This individual did not have permission to do what they did. They had no authorization to convert and decode the code.
- chuckee 5y agoPermission? He had authorization to receive the code to his PC. After that, he requires no further permission to examine it however he pleases. Once you communicate some information, your rights to restrict how that information is used are very limited, and you don't get to whitelist specific uses and call everything else a crime. The Facebook researchers likewise didn't have permission (from Facebook) to collect data on which ads users were shown. So is what they did also a crime?
