federal computer-intrusion law

A federal judge on Tuesday lifted a gag order placed on three Massachusetts Institute of Technology students earlier this month. The trio, Zack Anderson, R.J. Ryan, and Alessandro Chiesa, were going to discuss the vulnerabilities of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority's fare system at the annual Defcon conference.
The judge found the MBTA had a minimal case against the students under the federal computer-intrusion law and denied the MBTA's request for a five-month injunction.
