Question

Most cyber activities that you will see and investigate as a police officer, private security or investigative officer, or corporate employee will be local. Widespread cyber-activities or those that cross state lines are usually investigated by federal law enforcement or by task forces. There are, however, myriad situations that are inherently local and that can be investigated and prosecuted by local police. Accordingly, our focus here will be on the Connecticut Computer Crime Statute.

Analyze each of the following fact patterns you choose and decide whether the activity described violates the Connecticut Computer Crime Statute.

Be specific as to which section or sections of the law that applies.

In your analysis, describe, to the extent how necessary, how the underlying technology works and/or was misused (i.e., improperly accessed) how that activity fits with the elements of the section of the statute it would charge as an offense and the level of the offense. Note that offense levels generally are set by the damage to or value of the property or computer services. Take a close look at what costs can be included in the "damage" or "value" calculations.

Someone nearby automatically connected to it, and while logged in reconfigured the home security system (which is connected to her wifi network) so that the feeds from the security cameras are posted to a site on the Internet."
