United States Ninth Circuit

In a criminal dispute involving the scope of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA), 18 U.S.C. section 1030, judgment of the district court dismissing a CFAA indictment is reversed because under LVRC Holdings LLC v. Brekka, an employee exceeds authorized access when he or she obtains information from the computer and uses the information for a purpose that violates the employer’s restrictions on the use of the information.
