Obviously, nobody can stop you from breaking your own password that you forgot however, if this password protect access to your data stored in some online service, it does not actually matter that the account is yours – you cannot legally break it. In general, passwords are used to restrict access to the data (and it is also important whose data it is, and who’s asking). There are a lot of vastly regulations in different countries some even make it illegal to hide the password from the authorities if they ask – like in France, the country of Liberté. There are those wearing tin foil hats, but there are a lot more people who can make a reasonable effort to secure their lives without going overboard.
There are people who have “nothing to hide”. The rulemaking will explore what liability there might be for manufacturers participating in the program that fails to comply with the standards, a senior FCC official told reporters.Making tools for breaking passwords, I am frequently asked whether it’s legal, or how it works, or what one can do to protect their password from being cracked. The FCC will seek public comment on the program, which is expected to launch in 2024. The White House initially said it expected to roll out its first set of standards for the program in spring 2023. The initiative was previewed in a workshop with industry leaders and government officials last fall, as first reported by CyberScoop. The Department of Energy will research and develop a cybersecurity labeling requirement for smart meters and power inverters. The requirements are expected to be reported to the FCC by the end of the year. “The goal is to make this something that consumers look for in the marketplace and that product manufacturers want to use,” said FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel.Īs part of the program, NIST will also define specific cybersecurity requirements for consumer-grade routers, another frequent hacker target. Officials noted that the program is similar to the Energy Star labeling program the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy operate to promote energy efficiency. The program will draw from the National Institute of Standards and Technology cybersecurity recommendations, including the requirement of unique and strong default passwords, data protection, software updates and incident detection capabilities.
