Legalities of ethical hacking & repercussions, where’s the line in the sand ?

Ok ok we all know we cant discuss illegal activitys or encourage illegal activitys, on sub, maybe a conversation on whats legal & what isnt is due for those not sure -

For example using google dorking to access json files for end points, at what point do we cross the line in the sand, is just accessing json files & retrieving information considered a crime or is it further forward in what & how we use said data, or if we dessiminate that data would that then be considered a crime ? I get bored of the usual post’s “ my girls been cheating how can i hack her insta blah blah “

i’m over here quite often, but see little on certain subjects. It can also be a grey area of sorts of at what point we become illegal from legal.

Have we case examples irl ? Have you your self crossed that line ? From a blue team perspective how do we deal with known threats & do you report in the first instance or monitor ? Are you professionally knowledgeable from a legal perspective ?
