Abstract:
60% of hackers do not report vulnerabilities due to the fear of prosecution. This talk provides insights about the past, present, and future for ethical hacker rights, along with sharing stories of what happens when there is a lack of bilateral trust when conducting ethical hacking. To ultimately share why we need to work together within the infosec community to encourage instead of discouraging.
