How much trouble can a minor get in for computer hacking?

Question

I didn't mean that I was doing it. I was just curious as to what COULD happen if SOME minor did that.

I was only asking.....

Answer 1

o that depends on what your hacking into. Here's an article where 2 kids hacked into the school system. One of them is facing 38 years in prison (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,3689... I doubt you can hack into anything secured because there are safeguards against it and you need a good bit of know how to get around them without leaving a trail. My advice just don't do it you will get caught sooner or later.

Answer 2

I don't think this is a question to be asking on a public site, it could get you in a lot of trouble. With tech today there is firewalls that can deflect anyone attempting to hack into a network or server. If it is surpassed the system will alert who ever and it will start to track the signal. Once it has figured out where it is coming from it can be traced back to the computer that was used. If the person is caught, a lot can happen.

Answer 3

its a federal crime if you did it you better stop and hope you didnt get caught.

Answer 4

The same amount of trouble as a non-minor.

Computer hacking is a serious crime.
