Doesn’t matter if a person has a computer with no password at all. If you are on their computer and you are not authorized to use their computer that is a crime.
So your claim is that if I sit down at a computer that isn’t mine and has no security measures in place, and then open a file, that I have legally “hacked” the computer?
The minimal definition you can fall back to is “unauthorized access”. But now you have to establish and argue that an unsecured computer/system is off limits to everyone except the owner. Which then opens up a big can of worms with network connected devices, and demonstrates that such basic and literal verbatim interpretation doesn’t work in reality.
You can call it hacking or whatever. The legal term is: unauthorized access to a computer system.
Think about it in any other way? So I’m just walking down the street… I see a house… I go open a door… I open the fridge. Make myself a sandwich. Then go to a bedroom that’s not mine. Put on some underwear that isn’t mine and leave some stains on the sheets…
Why don’t you just go rape somebody? And clearly you have authorization to access that vagina or that butthole or mouth or however your fetish desires???
Just tell me you’ve been on Epstein’s Island… Jfc? Wtf is wrong with you, CeeBee_Eh?

No, the legal definition is this:
In a legal context, hacking is a term for utilizing an unconventional or illicit means to gain unauthorized access to a digital device, computer system, or network.
So this wasn’t illicit, because the FBI publicly published the data. So the argument has to be made with “unconventional”. This is what I disagree on.

That’s illegal. There’s a law for that. There are also laws that protect digital assets in a similar way, and they fall under Cybercrime.

Calm down there, Epstein.

You suck at rage baiting. I’m advocating for exposing more of the emails and not letting people refer to it as “hacking”, and you’re so enraged by someone disagreeing with you that you literally call that person “Epstein”. I know mental health care isn’t much of a thing in the US, but please find some help. For all our sakes.
You didn’t break the law, just violated a contract. The user you gave your credentials to violated the law, because the contract you signed stipulated that permission for them to access your account was not yours to give. That means they accessed your account in an unauthorized manner, which meets the definition of hacking.
I am not trying to argue the merits of what does and doesn’t constitute hacking, but these terms have objective, legal definitions in the jurisdictions they’re taking place. We don’t have to like or agree with those things, but it doesn’t change the current situation that has them set up this way.
When I die, my assets should go to the people I named as my beneficiaries. If someone else comes along to try and take ownership of my assets, they should definitely be denied. Also, just because I’m dead doesn’t mean anyone should have access to my devices, especially if password locked. So I would answer both questions with yes.
Unauthorized access is hacking.

That’s not ‘my claim.’ That’s the law.

If i give someone my bank details and passwords and they empty my account, can I claim I’ve been hacked?
No.
You can. You violated the TOS by sharing the details, making it exceptionally easy for them to hack you, then they did.
A TOS violation is not the same as breaking the law. If that were the case then every single person on the face on the planet would be a criminal.
You didn’t break the law, just violated a contract. The user you gave your credentials to violated the law, because the contract you signed stipulated that permission for them to access your account was not yours to give.

What part of “unauthorized access” is so difficult for people to understand?
How is authorization determined?
Probably by giving out your account details.
So, Epstein has given out his account details by putting them in an email.
Were those details only used by the people he directly sent them to?
Can dead men either provide or deny authorisation?
Can dead men get hacked?
