For example, if a company hire a hacker to access the database a competitor, then the company will be legally responsible for this, or the act was without knowledge of either.


Members of the European Union should from now on to ensure that their networks are available nationwide at any time with a response time in emergencies less than eight hours to prevent proliferation of attacks across the border.
