 Hacking has been around for a very long time. Normal people see it as some nerds quickly typing stuff in terminal console. In reality, it is much more complex, and hackers have their own ethics. Pekka Himanen in his Hacker Ethic has proposed that the hacker ways are in fact a new 'step up' from Max Weber's classical Protestant work ethics, just as the latter was a step up from the older pre-Protestant attitudes.

Pavel Durov, Telegram's co-founder, said that the  Federal Security Service demands violate the constitutional rights of russians to the privacy of correspondence. On 13 April 2018 Moscow's Tagansky District Court has

Estonia can be considered one of the most developed countries in terms of cyber security. According to Global Cybersecurity Index, Estonia is in TOP-5 in the world in terms of cybersecurity.  The Global Cybersecurity Index (GCI) is a trusted reference that measures the commitment of countries to cybersecurity at a global level – to raise awareness of the importance and different dimensions of the issue. As cybersecurity has a broad field of application, cutting across many industries and various sectors, each country’s level of development or engagement is assessed along five pillars – Legal Measures,  Technical Measures, Organizational Measures,  Capacity Development, and  Cooperation – and then aggregated into an overall score. Estonia is the first nation in the world to implement electronic voting, which is a gigantic cybersecurity challenge - to provide both anonimity and trust, which are key elements of fair election. It has a well-developed system of ID-cards and signing the docu
