    Technically he was not authorized to use the computer system due to his termination which the law looks at and calls hacking.

      No, the law specifically called this “unauthorized access to computer material”. It’s right there in the article.

        I said the law looks at whether it was authorized access or not, I was not citing any literal lines from the law. Didn’t read the article because I know this already because of the industry I work in and I took a course a number of years ago that literally was about this.
