Article 6 calls for signatories of the convention to make the production, distribution, and possession of cyberweapons a crime under certain conditions. The concern is that this could interfere with the development and use of cyberweapons for legitimate reasons, including research and security. Many hacking tools are also used for defense. It's a legitimate concern. People don't want to have information about them collected in the first place, and when it is, they don't want it going to some other party without their consent.
People are concerned about the sale of mailing lists.
They don't want to get more junk mail and they don't want third parties knowing their affiliations. Companies need to respect that. I've been looking at hacktivism and also at general trends in technology and how they're impacting information security. Tell us what hacktivism is. It's basically the joining of hacking with activism, where you've got people hacking for a cause.
