Is there a formal difference between hacking into someone else's server and, say, for example, exploiting an Ethereum contract, or exploiting a bug on a Lightning app that allows you to withdraw more ...
Lightning is meant to have all legal disputes settled on chain so if the bug doesn’t subject the attacker to a penalty disincentive then the attacker has done the network a favor by showing the weakness. Lightning will never have “juries prudence” anywhere other than the Bitcoin blockchain.
Tldr- no formal difference - and if it’s meant to be the payment rail of the world in the future, any legal formality will be irrelevant.
