Welcome to the forums.
Re-read the rules that you agreed to when you signed up. Also see the "stickied" threads at the top of the newbie section.
Also don't be afraid to search for yourself both here on the forums and google.

Furthermore it is your responsibility to post in the correct section of the forum.
The BT4 Software sub-forum has nothing to do with your thread.
In addition, your thread title did not meet the rules, therefore I changed it for you.

Short answer: Yes.

Long answer: It hasn't been prosecuted to my knowledge with a WEP or WPA key, but there are plenty of parallels in prior case law where convictions have resulted. The defense of "I illegally obtained and possessed the [data/credit card numbers/account numbers] because I was curious, but never intended to use them for illicit purposes" just doesn't work.

They have a saying for that in court: "GUILTY!"
