Wis. Stat. § 943.70 · Read the law's page

• Ordinary, non-disruptive automated access to a public Wisconsin-connected computer, program, or system does not by itself violate this statute; the offense requires acting willfully, knowingly, and without authorization, and doing one of the listed acts (modifying, destroying, accessing, taking possession of, or copying data or programs, or disclosing restricted access codes).
• Intentionally flooding a computer, program, system, or network with messages that exceed its processing capacity, causing an interruption in service, is a separate offense under this statute regardless of whether any data is altered.
• The base offense is a Class A misdemeanor; committing it to defraud or obtain property raises it to a felony, and it rises further where the resulting damage exceeds $2,500, causes a public-service interruption, or creates a substantial risk of death or great bodily harm.
• Disguising the identity or location of the computer used to commit the offense, with intent to avoid identification, increases the maximum fine and imprisonment on top of the underlying penalty.
