In Van Buren v. United States, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that a police officer named Nathan Van Buren did not “exceed authorized access” to a law enforcement database, as the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) defines that phrase, even though he obtained information from the database for an improper purpose. The Court clarified that an individual “exceeds authorized access” only when he or she accesses a computer with authorization, but then obtains information located in particular areas of the computer that are then off-limits.
