    There is, it’s called CFAA and is absurdly broad. Pretty much any time you

    knowingly accessed a computer without authorization

    it’s technically illegal.

        Seems that way yeah. Naturally this sort of law is selectively enforced to nab whoever they have a problem with though so probably your sister doesn’t have the clout to bring you to justice.
