Computer trespass

Computer trespass

Computer trespass is a computer crime in Kansas, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Virginia, and Washington[1].

Virginia

In Virginia, computer trespass consists of, with malicious intent, copying, altering, or erasing data from a computer, causing a computer to malfunction, causing an electronic funds transfer, etc[2]. The element of "malicious" intent was added by the Virginia General Assembly in 2005 by House Bill 2215[3]. Civil liability can be imposed regardless of intent under the terms of § 18.2-152.12[4]. The law bans unauthorized installation and use of software keyloggers but not specifically hardware keyloggers. There are felony provisions if damage is caused of $1,000 or more, or if software is installed in violation of this law on more than five computers of another.
