That depends on the system, the jurisdiction, the method and possibly the
intent.

I think I've seen at least one statute (Perhaps the original Oregon one
Randall Schwartz was prosecuted under) that included language about
attempting access beyond authorized levels.

I assume that under the right circumstances, attempt to defraud and all
the other "attempted" non-computer specific statutes are equally
applicable online.
