Case Study: Smith has worked at a large firm for several years but, due to a sexual harassment complaint, is forced to either resign or be fired. Angry and bitter, Smith wants revenge but is not going to commit a crime to do so. Instead, he asks two friends at his place of employment to supply him with passwords giving him access to documents not meant to be accessed by persons outside the firm. He assures his former coworkers that he simply wants to view the documents, but instead Smith downloads hundreds of files. Smith never uses the information for financial gain nor does he use the information against another person or his former employer.
