are you sure

Yes, I’m sure. The statement "They are breaking the law and are at risk of legal repercussions" is not true of white hat hackers, as they operate legally and ethically, typically with permission from the organizations they work with.

The other statement, "They use the same methods as black hat hackers," can also be misleading because while they may use similar techniques, their intent and purpose are fundamentally different. However, the first statement about legal repercussions is the most clear-cut falsehood regarding white hat hackers.
