 | Protected Computer System? quote: The men are being charged with causing damage to a protected computer system...
Granted, these guys are idiots and need to go to jail, but how can they be charged with causing damage to a protected computer system? If they were sitting in the parking lot they weren't accessing a "protected computer system" now were they. On a protected network you need more than an employee's username and password, you need the encryption key for the network, and Joe Employee isn't going to have that. |
