What is the first piece of federal legislation that identified computer crimes as distinct offenses?

a. Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools
b. Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism
c. Identity Theft and Assumption Deterrence Act (1998)
d. The Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1984
e. The Electronic Communications Privacy Act (1986)

Option d                    

Explanation:

The Computer Corruption and fraud Act is indeed a U.S. information protection statute passed as an addition to current electronic crime legislation in 1986, and was added in 1984 National Crime Prevention Act. The statute forbids entry to a device without permission, or violating authorization.

The CFAA was designed to expand current tort law to intellectual goods, thus technically restricting federal authority to situations "with a legitimate federal interest — that is, when u.s. government machines or other financial entities are concerned, or when the violation itself is inter-state in existence," but its wide meanings have extended to civil law.
