Answer 1

Hi, I would like to naswer you with this question, Hope you get a clear idea related to the same. So not wasting our time lets get started.

Inside the first line of th statment it is said about the military and strategic purposes of hacking , this states that these government bodies have the permission to perform hacking for the competetive reasons or the nations security related reasons. There comes many cases in the scenario inside which there is the need for a system to be hacked to gain information and prevent ourselves from any kind of mishappening. In these type of situations the bodies are free to preform hacking.

Now if we talk about the hacking for the industrial and economic espionage , there is a need of the hacking in many cases where an organisations needs security or if the system is beeen compromised then fix that out. So let us understand as inside a company a penetration tester or a hacker is hired and told to hack the environment of the industry and in such away the company is able to find out the vulnerabilities of its network. And the second case can be considered as if the adversary of an organisation tries to evade into your environment so your hacker or the risk management expert would be able to stop that threat to a company and can save the losses .

So as keeping inside the mind these laws are been used and have some different aspects of their usages.
