So to my understanding what they are proposing is allowing you to be hacked by the government if you are a victim of hacking by another actor. I can see the value of this being able to access log files and other data that could assist in investigating the original hackers. I suppose they wouldn't want to always tip off the victim of hacking because the victim might change something that could scare aware the original hackers or delete useful metadata before the investigation could be carried out. But it essentially could become a free pass for the state to hack anybody. Because 1.) Anyone with a public facing server knows there are bot hacking attempts made against them 24/7 or 2.) Just hire a 3rd party to hack someone then you have immediate cause to get access to their data. This article didn't seem to have a definite answers what kind of protections would be put in place in these events. It sounded like they previously did try to word the law to only pertain to the original investigation but one can only wonder. |

This is absolutely what this is about.
Prosecuting cybercrime is a nightmare, especially if it crosses international borders. NL has historically had a bad CSA hosting reputation, though I get the impression LEO hands have been tied.
This legalizes fruit of the poisoned tree. Or at least, blurs the line until the fruit rolls into scope of plain-sight doctrine. Hire some Israelis to pop a machine and you won't have to deal with mapping Tor/VPN connections across all of the world's jurisdictions until it comes back to your own neighborhood.
The way it's phrased, they're positioned to take down entire networks of pedophiles. Compromise a host, then compromise anything connecting to it, etc.
It's ugly but makes a lot of sense, and there really isn't a better solution short of limiting networks to national borders. Anybody who leads a long enough wild goose chase across the world is more untouchable than Pedo Sandiego. This cuts through the shenanigans.
And unfortunately will be abused in time, but it solves the problems of today.
