A case of bad behavior on the internet is called hacking which is the gaining of unauthorized access to data in a system or computer. Which is Illegal and can lead to criminal charges when a hacker accesses someone else’s computer system without consent. For example, a hacker may use a phishing scam to install malware on a computer network.
They may also install programs, allowing them to commit identity theft or steal confidential information. Also it may result in a felony or misdemeanor. Because It is an invasion of privacy. A very interesting case is one called DigiNotar.
On 3 September 2011, after it had become clear that a security breach had resulted in the frauds issuing of certificates, the Dutch government took over operational management of DigiNotar’s systems That same month, the company was declared bankrupt. An investigation into the hacking by Dutch-government appointed Fox-IT consultancy identified 300,000 Gmail users as the main target of the hack, and suspected that the Iranian government was behind the hack. While nobody has been charged with the break-in, cryptographer Bruce Schneier says the attack may have been “either the work of the NSA, or exploited by the NSA.” But the hack has also been claimed by the so-called Comodohacker, allegedly a 21-year-old Iranian student, who also claimed to have hacked four other certificate authorities, including Comodo, a claim found plausible by F-Secure, although not fully explaining how it led to the subsequent “wide scale interception of Iranian citizens”.
In summary on 3 September 2011 a security breach resulted in the frauds issuing of certificates, the Dutch government took over operational management of DigiNotar’s systems That same month, the company was declared bankrupt. An investigation into the hacking by Dutch-government appointed Fox-IT consultancy identified 300,000 Gmail users as the main target of the hack after the investigation was claimed by the so-called Comodohacker, allegedly a 21-year-old Iranian student. Shockingly enough the 21 year old iranian didn’t face any repercussions for his actions though normally there would be repercussions for hacking a bank.
Which I might add is Illegal and can lead to criminal charges normally but for some reason the 21 year old student didn’t get arrested from the E-crimes that he committed especially after the government. This case is quite famous due to the fact that it was a hack against an actual bank and no repercussions were done against the 12 year old.
