    There isn’t a law against hacking but I am sure there are other applicable laws when you do harm while hacking.

      There is, it’s called CFAA and is absurdly broad. Pretty much any time you

      knowingly accessed a computer without authorization

      it’s technically illegal.

          Seems that way yeah. Naturally this sort of law is selectively enforced to nab whoever they have a problem with though so probably your sister doesn’t have the clout to bring you to justice.
