Portugal updates cybercrime law to exempt security researchers www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/secu…
Portugal has modified its cybercrime law to establish a legal safe harbor for good-faith security research and to make hacking non-punishable under certain strict conditions.
First spotted by Daniel Cuthbert, a new provision in Article 8.o-A, titled “Acts not punishable due to public interest in cybersecurity,” provides a legal exemption for actions that previously were classified as illegal system access or illegal data interception.
