There are many complications to this, especially in the twisted mass of the MGL; for example, areas where service personnel (mailmen) could reasonably expect to be allowed are considered part of the curtilage, and do not comprise areas for trespass or B&E unless you explicitly mark the edge of your property. This is different than, say, TX, where I imagine you're allowed to shoot people on your property, whether or not they know it...or NY, where you can be in a "public" place up to but not past the time when you are asked to leave (plus a reasonable amount of time to leave the property) -- except if you're living there, in which case you're squatting and can't be evicted by simple declaration, ...it gets complex.
That being said, "unauthorized access of a remote system" has been codified as a crime, whether or not that system has absolutely no security on it. Wish I could find the reference on this right now.
