Competitor Allegedly Steals E-mails from its Rival

Posted on August 23, 2009 by Erika Birg

The Courthouse News reported on an interesting new Computer Fraud and Abuse Act case.   It appears from the article that Duncan Solutions diverted internal and external e-mails directed to its competitor Affiliated Computer Services' employees for the purposes of obtaining not only competitive and confidential internal information but also to obtain information regarding Affiliated Computer Services' clients.  According to The Courthouse News, Affiliated Computer Services sued in Texas and "seeks damages under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, Wiretap Act, Stored Communication Act and Texas Harmful Access By Computer Act."  Affiliated Computer Services "is represented by John Cox with Lynn Tillotson."  This could be an interesting case to watch.
