Achtung! New German Laws on Cybercrime

by Federico Biancuzzi
2007-07-10

Germany is passing some new laws regarding cybercrime that might affect 
security professionals. Federico Biancuzzi interviewed Marco Gercke, one of the 
experts that was invited to the parliamentary hearing, to learn more about this 
delicate subject. They discussed what is covered by the new laws, which areas 
remain in the dark, and how they might affect vulnerability disclosure and the 
use of common tools, such as nmap.
