The world's first hacking rules have provoked an aggressive response from cyberbands

The Red Cross has proposed common rules for cyber warfare, but hackers think differently.

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has published the world's first rules of cyber warfare for civilian hackers fighting for their country. This decision comes amid the active entry of people into patriotic cyber groups.

The ICRC, which is responsible for monitoring cyberwarfare rules, has proposed new rules to hacker groups, warning that their actions could endanger lives, including their own, if hacking makes attackers a legitimate military target.

The rules based on international humanitarian law include 8 points:

1. Do not direct cyber attacks to civilian targets;
2. Do not use malware or other tools and techniques that automatically spread and cause damage to military and civilian objects without control.;
3. When planning a cyber attack on a military facility, do everything possible to avoid or minimize the consequences that a hacker campaign can have on citizens;
4. Do not conduct cyber operations against medical and humanitarian facilities;
5. Do not conduct cyber attacks on objects that are necessary for the survival of the population or that can release dangerous forces;
6. Do not threaten violence to spread terror among the civilian population;
7. Do not incite violations of international humanitarian law;
8. Follow these rules, even if the enemy doesn't follow them.

A representative of one of the hacker groups told the BBC that the new rules are "unworkable and their violation in the interests of the group is inevitable", and a senior member of the Anonymous group said that, despite the previous adherence to the principles of the ICRC, hackers have now lost confidence in the organization and will not follow the new rules.
