If someone simply goes to the email providers webpage,clicks on forgot password, types in the email id then reset password. the service provider sends an email to the alternate email of the email id owner that will enable him or her to change/create to a new password instead of his old password.
No data has been theft, no identity theft/loss has been done, no spam, no wrongful loss/damage or diminishing the value of any substance or any utility nor affected anybody injuriously, nothing, at the best it can be classified as a prank or a mischief.
Now can this be punished under sections 43,46,66 or any other section of the IT Act or the penal code?
