Lukas Feiler, Zur strafrechtlichen Beurteilung von IT-Sicherheitslücken [The Significance of IT Security Vulnerabilities under Computer Crime Law] (2008) (Austria).
In this paper, I argued that hacking did not constitute a crime according to § 118a(1) Austrian Criminal Code if performed by exploiting vulnerabilities that do not directly lead to the destruction of data (e.g. command injection, SQL injection, or race conditions). In 2007, pointing to the specific vulnerabilities identified in my paper, the law was amended accordingly.
