What do I need to know about computer trespassing?

Answer by  EW (36)

Laws vary from country to country and state to state. In some cases, computer trespassing is seen the same as physical breaking and entering, a very serious offense. The best rule of thumb is, if it isn't yours, don't try to trespass into it, unless you don't mind the thought of a few years in jail.
