Testing website without owner's permission
5 years ago
Sir I am a ethical hacking field's student. Sir I tested my one school's website without their permission and also found one flaw that their site can be hacked by any black hat hacker. As I found this I reported them on their email id with video recording that your website can be hacked by black hat hacker. So please work on website security. They replied me that without their permission its illegal to test their website. They will go to cyber cell. Now what should I do sir?

A.Under the stringent Cyber Law and enforcement by the special cell you should have restraint. Without permission or request from you ,you have not only hacked into their website security but also recorded & send them the video recording. You have violated all Cyber law & involved into serious consequences.Act quickly before they got to the special Cyber cell and settle the issue with all the necessary preconditions & clauses that may be imposed by the school authorities.

A.See when you tested the website then to what level of testing did you do? was it just the user interface or did you hack into their code level? If it was just the user interface then simply ignore nothing will happen but if you you hacked into their system deeper which was not allowed generally then you have committed a cyber crime. The School can take action against you so better you apologize and get this sorted out.

A.Dear Sir,
You cannot valid the rules of privacy. It appears your attempt was bonafide but your institution not recognizing it. Better submit unconditional apology and close the issue.
