Responsible Disclosure
If you discover a vulnerability through your authorized security research, we strongly encourage responsible disclosure. This means:
- Reporting the vulnerability to the affected organization before making it public.
- Providing the organization reasonable time to address the issue.
- Not exploiting the vulnerability beyond what is necessary to demonstrate its existence.
- Not accessing, modifying, or deleting data that does not belong to you.
- Following established disclosure frameworks such as ISO 29147 or the disclose.io guidelines.
Legal Compliance
You are responsible for understanding and complying with all applicable laws in your jurisdiction. Cybersecurity laws vary significantly between countries and regions. What may be legal in one jurisdiction could be a criminal offense in another. Key legislation to be aware of includes:
- Canada: Criminal Code sections 342.1 (unauthorized use of computer) and 430(1.1) (mischief in relation to computer data).
- United States: Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA).
- United Kingdom: Computer Misuse Act 1990.
- European Union: Directive on Attacks Against Information Systems (2013/40/EU).
When in doubt, consult a qualified legal professional before conducting any security testing activities.
