    Hacking is not the name of a charge or a crime. Hacking predates computers. This was clearly a hack. Don’t know what to tell you except go back to your sources.

      The crime is “unauthorized access”

      In this case, this is not a crime because there is not authentication bypass. Its just accessing a public api

        It is unauthorized. An unlocked door isn’t an invitation not is an open website or database, this is clearly delineated in the cfaa which btw makes tampering with any protected device a crime open door or not.

        You should really lookup the law before you offer bad advice.

        That has nothing to do with my point: “hacking” includes actions which are not illegal, or even malicious.
