Electronically. Through the Internet. Basically someone trying to bypass security of the system.

No, in general. What about someone performing a DoS on my IP address?

What if they break in but don't break anything, still a crime?

I believe it is a crime if they actually get in the computer, but I don't think it's a crime just to try.
