While unintentionally gathering information from non-targets raises privacy concerns, entrapment could happen if law enforcement encourages illegal activity. Gathering and storing data from malicious users raises privacy and legal issues, particularly in cross-border hacking situations. While honeypots can help identify risks, their ethical and legal consequences require close supervision and strict rules to prevent power misuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Resources:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Computer Forensics: Cybercriminals, Laws and Evidence, 2nd Edition (2015), by Marie-Helen Maras, Jones and Bartlett Learning, ISBN978-1-4496-9222-3<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eye on Tech.
