What is Unauthorized Access & Hacking?
Hackers continuously break into computers and damage or steal information. Our law firm has a substantial amount of knowledge and experience in identifying and pursuing the responsible person or parties for hacking, theft of data, cyber-trespassing, and unauthorized access to computers and networks. Whether it is your competition, a previous employee or data thief, my legal team has the specialty to assist you in these matters. There is also a federal statute which prohibits hacking and unauthorized access. The federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (the “CFAA”) is set under Title 18 U.S.C. Section 1030 (See http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/18/1030.html). It is a criminal statute that also allows for private lawsuits upon violations. If someone has compromised the security of your system, or if you are accused of unauthorized access, you need to be aware of this law.
