    No it isn’t, there’s no hacking involved in connecting to a wifi network. Plus different jurisdictiona might see it differently anyway.

    Most western jurisdictions define hacking as accessing computer resources without permission. So yes, at least in the west, such behaviour definitely counts as hacking. Doesn’t matter if there’s no encryption breaking or brute forcing going on. If it’s connecting to a network that it doesn’t have permission to be on, it is breaking the law.

    And good luck with your lawsuits against mega corps.

    It is possible to get entire products pulled from stores if they are breaching hacking laws.
