Title: Cybercrime: A Sketch of 18 U.S.C. 1030 and Related Federal Criminal Laws
Authors: Charles Doyle, American Law Division 
Abstract: The federal computer fraud and abuse statute, 18 U.S.C. 1030, protects computers in which there is a federal interest-federal computers, bank computers, and computers used in interstate and foreign commerce. It shields them from trespassing, threats, damage, espionage, and from being corruptly used as instruments of fraud.
