Overview:

Both federal and state statutes impose criminal liability on hackers for computer crimes, as well as provide civil liability for violations of the statue. But often hackers are difficult to find, are judgment-proof, or both. As victims of hackers look for deep pockets from which to recover damages, they will increasingly turn to the companies that operate on line businesses and computer networks. This paper reviews the legal theories under which a computer hacker could be found liable, and discusses theories by which a company, which was the victim of a hacker, could be subject to liability to other parties for a hacking incident.
