Computer Fraud and Abuse Act: Supreme Court Ruling
Employers can no longer rely on their contracts, policies, or industry standards as grounds for seeking a private suit against employees under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986 (CFAA). The Supreme Court recently ruled that the CFAA did not regulate a person's authorized access to a computer for an improper purpose. The Court limited claims under the CFAA to a person who exceeds his/her authorized access.
