Workshop 1: Cybercrime

What is cybercrime? Who are the hackers? What makes an ethical hacker? Is ethical hacking always legal? Come along to this interactive session to explore and the law governing the use of computers and digital devices and to better understand what is legal and illegal to do with computers.

In this session, you will learn about what hacking is from a legal perspective. You’ll be introduced to the main offences under the Computer Misuse Act 1990 and will have a chance to think like ‘the Jury’ and deliver guilty/not guilty verdicts. We will then debate how good the law on hacking currently is and whether it adequately distinguishes between ethical and unethical behaviour.
