@quinn@social.circl.lu every subpart of 18U.S.C. 1030 (a) includes the word "intentionally", or the phrase "knowingly and with intent", which would seem to suggest that intent is at issue. What's your legal theory for how this event is a felony under the CFAA?

@womble@infosec.exchange have dealt with a few CFAA cases irl (quite famously in one case) and intent isn't much of a defense irl. Though Sony (rootkit) did teach me that CFAA is not a thing for companies, companies are allowed to hack all they want, you know, like crowdstrike. That it is one rule for me, not thee might be the state of play, it's still corruption and wrong.
