Security c|net: Jennifer Granick, director of Stanford University's Center for Internet and Society, warned the audience at the Black Hat security conference late Thursday that they could run afoul of recent laws like the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, as well as centuries-old common law restrictions for publishing detailed information about vulnerabilities and exploits. A conference in Oct will explore some of the ways vulnerability disclosures could trigger legal prohibitions, which include the DMCA, the common law tort of negligence, state laws, criminal laws against conspiracies, wire fraud statutes and the Council of Europe's convention on cybercrime.
