Imagine you have borrowed your friend's computer to work on a class project. Checking

the computer out, you notice they've left their web browser open and are signed in to

their email account. Would it be considered a computer crime to read their email, even

though you didn't "hack" their password? What if they had left a text file on their

desktop that included personal information, like their social security number, banking

and credit card information, passwords for sites, etc., but didn't have it password

protected-would accessing that file be a computer crime, even though there was no

password protection on it? Explain your answers
