German law is making security research a risky business.

Current news: A court found a developer guilty of “hacking.” His crime: he was
tasked with looking into a software that produced way too many log messages. And
he discovered that this software was making a MySQL connection to the vendor’s
database server.

When he checked that MySQL connection, he realized that the database contained
data belonging to not merely his client but all of the vendor’s customers. So he
immediately informed the vendor – and while they fixed this vulnerability they
also pressed charges.

There was apparently considerable discussion as to whether hardcoding database
credentials in the application (visible as plain text, not even decompiling
required) is sufficient protection to justify hacking charges. But the court
ruling says: yes, there was a password, so there is a protection mechanism which
was circumvented, and that’s hacking.

I very much hope that there will be a next instance ruling overturning this
decision again. But it’s exactly as people feared: no matter how flawed the
supposed “protection,” its mere existence turns security research into criminal
hacking under the German law. This has a chilling effect on legitimate research,
allowing companies to get away with inadequate security and in the end
endangering users.
