Who in their right mind would walk into a courthouse and tell the judge they were trying to break into a computer system (which in and of itself holds MANY penalties because information on a company system is invaluable per previous court cases) and say that they lost data on their system when their attack was rebuked? The person would get laughed out of court, if not at the submittal level then when the judge enters the chamber. At the point the guy admits to trying to hack into the system the cops can come forward and throw him in jail, the DA would have a confession on record, and Butch would have a new wife in cell block D.
But it is all semantics. If they run an AV they are fine, just annoyed. If they don't run an AV then if they are smart they will catch it and be fine. If they lose it, well how can they prove where they were, the log files are gone and unless they are keeping paper records (even better for the law to prosecute them with) then they have even no way of proving anything. -----Original Message----- From: Michael C.
