I'm not clear on this one point. If somebody got a hold of my private key and moved funds from an address that I claimed on the ledger, is that against the law? At what point could that be considered a crime? For example, if they hacked into my machine and stolen the private key; if they sniped the pk while snooping on a public access connection; brute forced the pk into existence; or just plane snapped a shot of my qr code over my shoulder....ect In which of those examples could I pursue prosecution for the theft of my coin?
By law, stealing is a crime and hacking is stealing in which you take someone properties which is not yours then of course it is illegal but maybe if Bitcoin or the Crypto currency is declared illegal in the country then hacking crypto currencies assets will be ignored as a crime in that certain government because of the illegal status. Therefore hacking crypto as a crime will depend of the legality status of your government.
