The introduction provides a well-established definition of computer information fraud as theft of another’s property or acquisition of the right to someone else’s property by entering, deleting, blocking, modifying computer information or otherwise interfering with the operation of means of storing, processing or transferring computer information or information and telecommunication networks.
