Yeah, 18 USC 1030 (a)(2)(C) might be a better fit:

> Whoever ... intentionally accesses a computer without authorization or exceeds authorized access, and thereby obtains ... information from any protected computer ... shall be punished as provided in subsection (c) of this section.

(The definition of "protected computer" encompasses any computer that is "used in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce or communication".)

Yes. This. Facebook just became one of the biggest illegal hackers ever. I really hope the feds bring charges.

But if you agreed to it in their TOS, is it illegal?

[muckrakerz]

No.
