The Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986 is known as the "hacking statue" and deals with individuals who have gained unauthorized access to computer systems or have created and distributed malicious programs. The U.S. Code under Title 18 and Title 17 have adopted specific computer-related provisions. Additions were made to the Electronic Communications Privacy Act and the Privacy Protection Act as well. The U.S. PATRIOT Act created significant changes to the manner in which electronic evidence is collected; providing greater authority to law enforcement and erode privacy expectations.
