Three students in Malta and their instructor have been charged with the crime of breaking "security". They found vulnerabilities in an app (surely nonfree) and reported them to its developer after verifying they were real vulnerabilities.

Reporting bugs in a program helps the program's developers. If the developers treat you decently, which includes respecting your freedom, such cooperation is the right thing for users to do. But if the developers thinks "security" means keeping users firmly under the developers' power, they deserve punishment rather than help.
US citizens: call on Congress to overturn the wrecker's attack on clean energy policies.
