What is the Federal Computer Fraud & Abuse Act?
Often, lawsuits alleging misappropriation of trade secrets include claims that the employee stole the employer’s trade secrets by obtaining unauthorized access to the employer’s computer systems, or by exceeding the scope of any authorized access. For example, the employer may allege that the employee improperly copied, downloaded, or exported trade secrets from the employer’s computers. The employer may even argue that the employee improperly deleted, corrupted, altered, or damaged computerized trade secrets information.
