Legal and Contractual Considerations
of a Security Incident Response
Some information security incidents may involve
criminal offenses and some may not. For example,
defacing a website, compromising a vulnerable
server, spamming and stealing information on a
compromised server are offenses under Hong Kong
law, while port scanning is not an offense in
Hong Kong. You should also note that different
countries have different laws regarding cyber
crime. If the incident is an offense, it should
be reported to any relevant law enforcement agency.
If you are not sure, you should consult the law
enforcement agencies in that country
