The Supreme Court will possibly be reining in of one of the main anti-hacking laws in America, which has not been revised by Congress since 1986, and has tormented cybersecurity researches since the internet began.
The American Supreme Court heard a number of arguments yesterday for the first time in a case which aims to challenge the broadest interpretations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFFA). The interpretations of the CFFFA have left cybersecurity professionals risking imprisonment for doing basic Internet research.
Critics have said that the CFFA is overly vague in its wording, and due to its Reagan-era creation it has been unable to be translated effectively into the world of modern technology.
