Hypothetically speaking, supposed Mr.X was able to get into a restricted link in daniweb where Mr.X didn't have the privilege to do so regularly. What would happen to Mr.X is he was caught? Is there any laws against it?

Jump to PostThis would probably come under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act in the USA, or the Computer Misuse Act in the UK (most countries have different laws covering much the same thing).
The US law defines hacking as having "knowingly accessed a computer without authorization or exceeding authorized access" …
