      Apparently he allegedly admitted to having a bunch of stolen credit card numbers on his phone, but I can’t find anything about him using a stolen phone/computer

      access to disrupt function seems like a weird charge to give somebody for just having stolen credit card numbers on a phone, but I guess it would depend on how he obtained them

      “access to disrupt function” is a specific element of the criminal charge “Unlawful Use of Computer” under the Pennsylvania Crimes Code, 18 Pa. Cons. Stat. § 7611. It refers to gaining unauthorized access to a computer or network with the intent to interfere with its normal operation or the services it provides.

        That’s kinda a catch-all for use of someone else’s device or accessing protected data device or service.

        It sounds like an add-on charge related to accessing the CC numbers.
