We’re discussing the intriguing world of cyber privateers and the concept of 'hacking back' against cyber criminals. The discussion centers around a proposed bill in the U.S. Congress, H.R. 4988, that aims to authorize private individuals to pursue cyber criminals with the full backing of government-issued letters of marque. We explore the historical context of privateers, the potential legal and ethical implications, and the modern-day ramifications of such measures. And debate whether bringing back this old concept could be a solution to modern cyber threats or if it opens the door to more significant risks and unintended consequences.
