The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), along with 124 digital and information security experts, expressed concern about the proposed draft UN Cybercrime Treaty.
Cyber Security Risks
Members of a broad cross-section of the global information security research community are concerned about the risks to white hat cybersecurity hackers.
Particular attention is paid to the risk of criminalization of conscientious research in this direction.
According to the EFF, the existing amendments could put white hat hackers seeking to improve technological security at risk, and even subject them to criminal liability for their legitimate actions.
Support for Research Efforts
The EFF statement emphasizes the importance of supporting legislation and regulations that support efforts to identify and address IT vulnerabilities.
It is noted that the cybersecurity research community plays a key role in protecting information technology by identifying vulnerabilities that can spread malware and threats to millions of people.
The current text of the Treaty, according to the EFF, creates a threat of criminal liability for legitimate actions aimed at increasing security.
Draft Agreement and necessary changes
The Electronic Frontier Foundation hopes that the draft UN Treaty will be improved to strengthen global cybersecurity and more effectively combat cybercrime.
The EFF believes that the real risks identified in the current version of the treaty mean a possible weakening of cybersecurity and an exacerbation of problems associated with cybercrime.
