I don’t know – and I guess it depends on your local laws. I think if you don’t do anything malicious, then that could be fine. Accessing confidential information is often considered illegal, which is why I only accessed metadata in the site I stumbled across.

If I contact websites saying that they are susceptible to SQl Injection attacks, will I be doing something illegal?
I mean, I could find that the sites are insecure by trying out some SQL Injection tricks so if I report it to the website, will I be considered a hacker?
