Introduction The Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) is a powerful statute that can combat online theft and protect digital information.1 Congress originally discussed these objectives in the early 1980s and enacted the CFAA in 1986 in the midst of the Digital Revolution.2 As digital machinery began to quickly replace analog and mechanical devices, Congress needed a statute with the ability to grow alongside this new technology.3 The CFAA was meant to be malleable and adapt over time with ever-changing innovation.4 At inception in 1986, however, the idea of a global internet, not to mention numerous other online technologies that now exist, was not even conceivable. Congress designed the CFAA to be flexible because digital technology was new, but this flexibility has been misused. If courts can freely expand the statute as broadly as they please, prosecutors will arguably be incentivized to exploit the CFAA and seek criminal sanctions based on untenable statutory interpretations.5 The Committee on the Judiciary expressly recognized that deterring unwanted computer actions begins with the private website owners and not federal law * J.D.
