        I’ve been in IT for a few years and I’ve changed companies a few times. I just checked my login creds for various systems of 3 previous employers and like half of them still work. Unfortunately it’s a lot more common than any IT department would like to admit

      It’s only hacking if it’s in a CVE.

      Anything else is just sparkling unauthorized access.

        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.
