If you're crashing/DOSing a remote internet-server by exploiting your knowledge of a bug in the server-software, you may technically just be "sending data", but in court it's the intent which makes it hacking, vs just accidentally crashing something.

I would expect this to be treated similarly, but ofcourse legal IT is a jungle of randomness in itself, so I won't make any guaranteed predictions :)
