If I submit a form stating I'd like to pay $10 a month for service and AT&T accepts that, how is that fraud?

- staticassertion 5y agoThe same way that if a company puts pages you can access at `www.example.com/1` and you then access `www.example.com/2`, which you should not access, you're violating the CFAA. I haven't read the CFAA in a while but it is extremely broad. It boiled down to "if you access a system in a way you should not, illegal". Or how accessing the same page a billion times per second, a page you have every right to access a few times, is illegal. Or if you dial into a nuclear arms facility with your phone.

I think even the most tech illiterate judge would agree that, if I fill out a paper form and give it to someone at a company, it's on them to validate the information in it before executing a contract with the information inside it.
