Another potentially applicable law includes access to personal information, including Social Security numbers. The Attorney General is seeking a fourth law, which makes it a crime to gain unauthorized access to customer data from a utility.
“We believe that laws were broken, we first try to discover, it broke,” said Dresslar.Mr. Dresslar said the state believes that laws which are not only the person holding the Pretexting, but others, has been authorized, financed or knew and let him go. “You should not the person who was sitting on the keyboard and reality Pretexting,” he said.
