Unusual Supreme Court narrows hacking law scope
The Supreme Court limits the federal computer hacking statute to those who break into confidential files, not those who misuse information they are authorized to see. In a 6-3 decision led by Amy Coney Barrett, the court overturns a Georgia sergeant Nathan Van Buren’s conviction for taking a $5,000 sting payoff after accessing license plate data for an improper purpose. The ruling clarifies that “exceeds authorized access” targets information beyond allowed areas rather than all policy violations. Justice Thomas dissented, arguing longstanding limits on consent. Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Alito joined the dissent.
