True. Though I can see some situations where the criminal aspects would be acceptable. Such as a case where hacking was the proximate cause of catastrophic harm (like a criminal using an insecure industrial control system to crash a power grid).

I am almost willing to support criminal aspects in this case. Extrajudicial killing was a predictable result in giving these tools to repressive governments.
