👉 Unauthorized computing refers to the use of computer systems, networks, or data without explicit permission from their owners or operators. This can involve accessing sensitive information, altering files, or using the system for malicious purposes like spreading malware or conducting cyberattacks. It often stems from a lack of proper authorization, weak security measures, or insider threats where individuals with legitimate access misuse their privileges. Such actions can lead to significant data breaches, financial loss, and damage to an organization's reputation.
