It means that it is illegal to use someone else's computer to do things like stealing their information, giving someone else a virus or using the computer to commit a crime like robbery. Breaking this law can have very serious consequences, like people going to prison or having to pay a lot of money. So it is important to remember to always follow the law and not do anything bad with computers.
