Re: Damaged without authorization...
The version of 18 U.S.C. § 1030(a)(5) available at http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1030 reads, at the citation:
"(5)
(A) knowingly causes the transmission of a program, information, code, or command, and as a result of such conduct, intentionally causes damage without authorization, to a protected computer;
(B) intentionally accesses a protected computer without authorization, and as a result of such conduct, recklessly causes damage; or
(C) intentionally accesses a protected computer without authorization, and as a result of such conduct, causes damage and loss."
That sounds like (a) a cyberattack, and (b) what the FBI might do in executing a warrant.
Prof. Ghappour's article, linked at the end, is much more balanced and measured than either this article or any of the comments (as of 1830 UTC).
