SDCL §§ 43-43B-1 to 43-43B-3, 43-43B-7, 43-43B-8 · Read the law's page

• Do not access, or exceed authorized access to, a South Dakota-connected computer system, software, or data without the consent of the owner; this chapter turns on consent rather than on a technical access barrier, so it reaches ordinary unauthenticated automated access as well as authenticated access.
• Do not copy or obtain information from a computer system, compromise its security controls, or use or disclose access codes or passwords, without the owner's consent; violating this is a Class 6 felony.
• Do not disrupt, deny, or inhibit access to software, data, or a computer system, or modify, change, alter, destroy, or disable software, data, or a computer system, without the owner's consent; these acts carry felony exposure up to a Class 2 felony (up to twenty-five years and a $50,000 fine) where the access is also part of a deceptive scheme to obtain money, property, or services.
• This chapter does not itself create a private civil cause of action for a violation, but it also does not limit or diminish one that exists independently under other law.
