Another legal issue is the Computer Misuse Act (1990). This is when one tries to intrude an ICT system, this includes unauthorized entry into ICT systems, planting any sort of virus, copying programs illegally, hacking, using an ICT system to commit a crime etc. There are 3 levels of offences. Level one is unauthorized access to computers (data or programs). Trying to attempt access to a system which you are not allowed in is level 1. Level 2 is similar to level one but you have the intention to do something illegal or damaging, for example if someone tries to steal personal data i.e. passwords but is then further used to commit some sort of fraud.
