Bills aimed at legalizing the activities of “white” hackers will be submitted to the State Duma. In this respect RIA News said deputy Anton Nemkin, member of the State Duma Committee on Information Policy, Information Technologies and Communications.
The MP explained today that even if an information system is hacked into with the owner’s permission in order to test its security vulnerabilities, these actions can constitute a crime.
