This paper will highlight a few of these laws and provide cases where the laws should be implemented and cases where the law should be modified.

This system allowed client’s transfer their money from their own accounts into different accounts all of over the world (FBI). The hackers were able to gain access into the accounts by exploiting the telecommunications system and getting the account details of authorized users (FBI).

This case would fall under the computer fraud and abuse act (CFAA), and it can be reasonably applied because this law implicates those who knowingly access another individual’s computer without authorization (Darrell, 125). Violating the CFAA can be done in two ways “either by an outsider who trespasses into a computer or an intruder who goes beyond the scope of his given authorization” (Darrell, 125).
