This is a very naive understanding. The statute was intentionally modified from "knowingly" to "intentionally" and the reasons for this change are a matter of public record. It was to explicitly decriminalize accidental or careless unauthorized access. Any judicial review takes such documentation into account.
This article is an uninformed rant spreading FUD in the pursuit of a personal goal and it doesn't deserve the attention it is receiving any more than the garbage legal scaremongering for which SCO was notorious.
Also it's "proof of concept" fails to identify screen resolution so not only is the author a failure at reading the law but also at writing working code.
