Do you understand the difference between a hacker and an attacker? The words are often used interchangeably, but they are far from synonymous. In fact, the many misconceptions around what a hacker is (and is not) have created more than confusion: Hackers have prosecuted, and some states and companies are even using regulations against hackers. In this webcast, our panel of esteemed hacker rights' fighters will discuss the need for rights, where we were before 2013, some notable lawsuits that have served as the impetus for change and the ways that the Department of Justice and organizations has been helping hackers.
