This sets a dangerous precedent. Soon there will be laws written that you cannot criticize the policies of the federal government on a website. And so on. I would gladly defend this guy, even if he is a scumbag.
- tlrobinson 13y agoRegardless of the rest of it, hacking emails to steal and post nude photos is indefensible. That said, I'm usually skeptical of CFAA charges when the accused has done something objectionable but not necessarily illegal (see: weev).
- yarou 13y agoWe don't know what really happened yet. "Hacking" someone's email can mean a lot of things. CFAA should only apply if there was an intrusion of some sort through an attack vector of the system, not if the mailbox owner voluntarily shared login info.
- mcantelon 13y agoWhat, out of curiosity, is the charge applied to social engineering or phishing login info?
