An attempt to knowingly access without authorization or obtain restricted or classified government information can be prosecuted under the Espionage Act. This federal law criminalizes the unauthorized access, possession, and transmission of national defense information. Violations can lead to severe penalties, including significant fines and imprisonment. Additionally, other statutes, such as the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, may also apply depending on the circumstances of the offense.
