Simply put, unauthorized access to a computer system is the entry of a user into a system that he does not have permission to use. This user has stolen or borrowed or otherwise "found" a way to logon and access all or parts of the system. Access might be limited only to files containing information, but it may also extend to command level functions that would permit a malicious user to make some extremely damaging changes to the system. Unauthorized access could also lead to the use of the system resources to process data, or link to other places the unauthroized user has no permission to go or right to be in.
