Computer Crimes, Hacking Computer ratting

[SvtPrm]

Jurisdiction

United Kingdom

Hi, I was just wondering. So my friend hacked someone else's computer and was able to view his webcam, control his computer, look through his files. And I was in a voice call with him while he did it. I know he can get charged for that, but can I be charged for that? I personally don't have anything to do with the virus, But I was talking to him while he did it. Thanks! PS, My friend who hacked him is from the UK, And I'm from Norway.

This is a United States law site. We don't deal in UK law.

You could be charged as an accessory to compel you to testify against your friend.

Unlikely, though.
