\u00bfQu\u00e9 significa eso para los empleadores ahora?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

En junio de 2021, la Suprema Corte de Justicia de los Estados Unidos emiti\u00f3 una decisi\u00f3n por 6 votos contra 3, redactada por la miembro m\u00e1s reciente de la Corte, la jueza Amy Barrett, en un caso relacionado con la cobertura de la Ley federal contra el fraude y el abuso inform\u00e1tico (Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, CFAA).\u00a0 V\u00e9ase Van Buren contra Estados Unidos.<\/em>, 141 S. Ct. 1648 (2021). La CFAA impone responsabilidad penal a cualquier persona que \u201cacceda intencionalmente a una computadora sin autorizaci\u00f3n o exceda el acceso autorizado\u201d y, por lo tanto, obtenga informaci\u00f3n de la computadora.\u00a0 Ver<\/em> 18 U.S.C. \u00a7 1030(a)(2). La ley define el t\u00e9rmino \u201cexceder el acceso autorizado\u201d como \u201cacceder a una computadora con autorizaci\u00f3n y utilizar dicho acceso para obtener o alterar informaci\u00f3n en la computadora que el usuario no tiene derecho a obtener o alterar\u201d.\u201d\u00a0 Id.<\/em> \u00a7 1030(e)(6). Existen multas y sanciones penales significativas para las personas que infrinjan la ley, as\u00ed como la posibilidad de responsabilidad civil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 En Van Buren<\/em>, un funcionario estatal fue acusado de infringir la Ley de Fraude y Abuso Inform\u00e1tico (CFAA) al utilizar el ordenador de su coche patrulla para acceder a una base de datos policial con sus propias credenciales. Obten\u00eda informaci\u00f3n sobre las matr\u00edculas de determinados individuos para proporcion\u00e1rsela a otra persona a cambio de dinero en efectivo.\u00a0 La cuesti\u00f3n objeto del litigio era si el agente hab\u00eda excedido el uso autorizado en el sentido de la CFAA al tener acceso v\u00e1lido a la base de datos inform\u00e1tica, pero utilizar la informaci\u00f3n obtenida para un fin indebido, en lugar de para un fin leg\u00edtimo relacionado con su trabajo o con la aplicaci\u00f3n de la ley.\u00a0 No obstante, el Tribunal Supremo resolvi\u00f3 una divisi\u00f3n de opiniones sobre este tema y sostuvo que la conducta del agente no infring\u00eda la CFAA porque ten\u00eda autorizaci\u00f3n para acceder a la base de datos policial, aunque finalmente obtuviera y utilizara la informaci\u00f3n de dicha base de datos con fines indebidos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Los empleadores y otras organizaciones que deseen proteger la integridad de la informaci\u00f3n contenida en sus sistemas inform\u00e1ticos y bases de datos deben prestar mucha atenci\u00f3n a la limitaci\u00f3n impuesta por el Tribunal al alcance de la Ley de Fraude y Abuso Inform\u00e1tico. Si un empleado tiene acceso v\u00e1lido a los sistemas o bases de datos de una empresa, es posible que la CFAA no le brinde protecci\u00f3n si accede a dichos sistemas, obtiene informaci\u00f3n y luego la utiliza de manera indebida.\u00a0 Las empresas deben considerar cuidadosamente la posibilidad de limitar el acceso a determinados sistemas y bases de datos \u00fanicamente a aquellos empleados que tengan una raz\u00f3n comercial v\u00e1lida para acceder a esa parte del sistema. Dicho de otro modo, no se debe dar a los empleados libertad total para acceder a todas las partes de los sistemas de registro de una empresa, sino que solo se les deben proporcionar credenciales v\u00e1lidas para aquellas partes espec\u00edficas del sistema que sean necesarias para el desempe\u00f1o de sus funciones laborales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
