New Allegations: Capital One Suspect Stole From 30+ Organizations
The woman allegedly responsible for the massive breach of customer data at Capital One stole data from 30 other organizations, according to new information from prosecutors.
In a new court filing, they alleged that Paige Thompson stole terabytes of information from enterprises, educational institutions and other organizations, although she claims not to have sold or distributed any of it to others.
The information is being revealed as part of efforts by prosecutors to persuade the judge to deny bail.
It alleges that Thompson has a history of threatening behavior, including threats to kill others and herself. She is also said to have harassed a couple for seven years, forcing them to obtain a protection order.
Investigators found the new information on data breaches on servers in Thompson’s bedroom.
“That data varies significantly in both type and amount. For example, much of the data appears not to be data containing personal identifying information,” the court filing explained.
“At this point, however, the government is continuing to work to identify specific entities from which data was stolen, as well as the type of data stolen from each entity. The government expects to add an additional charge against Thompson based upon each such theft of data, as the victims are identified and notified.”

Is it really hacking if you download the content from a public cloud storage account?

Yes, and a human with a penis is a man. Except for Lorena Bobbitt, for a short period of time.

Lorena Bobbitt was definitely hacking.

LOL, though as long as she doesn’t put it back with modified coding, that would actually be theft.

Damn, got some serious phobias floating around here. Glad I'm not forced to otherwise interact with such dipshits.

whoosh.
The joke is that the penis Lorena Bobbitt had for a while was not hers. And she was definitely a hacker, so this is not offtopic.

A phobia is a persistent, excessive, unrealistic fear of an object, person, animal, activity or situation. It is a type of anxiety disorder. A person with a phobia either tries to avoid the thing that triggers the fear, or endures it with great anxiety and distress.

If someone disagrees with a particular lifestyle choice or finds it distasteful, it is NOT a phobia no matter how much the proponents of it claim it to be so. There is no fear involved anymore than finding someone disgusting that eats their own boogers or believing someone mentally ill who exhibits OCD by clapping three times every time he sees a yellow car. Claiming phobias against those who will not normalize deviant behavior in order to stigmatize them it is the true tragedy.

It's like racism - it's not enough to say you're not racist. If you're not anti-racist, and willing to call it out when you see it, you're an enabler or hate towards non-whites. I don't keep siloand stand on the sidelines and say "at least I'm not racist." That's for cowards who lack enough empathy towards others to speak up to injustice. Same as women's rights. My body, my choice is something I can really relate to.

I am eternally grateful I do not live where you live then. When it becomes a criminal offense to speak the obvious truth in order to spare the feelings of a deviant, the government has become an oppressor.

Definition of deviant (Entry 1 of 2)

Bullshit.
I don't care what color your skin is or where you come from.
I don't give a damn what bits you or anyone else has or whether you reconfigure them.
I don't care what bits you like your consenting partners to have.
I laugh at all of the giant sky fairies.
But it is not up to you to put an obligation on me. I am not your vassal. I don't have to defend you. Everyone always has the right to walk away.

There's no such thing as hate speech. Only speech you don't want to hear, and think is so bad that use of government force to punish it is acceptable.
The term "racism" or "racist" is anti-Aryan propaganda made up by Jews to convince Aryans that keeping what's left of their race intact is morally wrong. Anti-discrimination is just one tool to facilitate the White Genocide.
Discrimination as to who someone wants to associate with (in private/non tax funded dealings), is everyone's basic human right, even if they base it on what you might consider ignorance, irrational fear or evil motives. It's only a legitimate crime once they act in a way to violate someone else's (actual) rights based on their beliefs. It's none of your business what criteria they use to make their decisions about themselves or their family.

If it ain't yours, yes. DMCA or something will apply, fair or not fair.
It may depend on the quality of the lawyer and the depth of the prosecution pocket/budget, but it's Capital One we are talking about, so 'hacking' is as good as written on the wall.
Does it surprise you?

Was tempted by that one, but reading it diagonally, seems it deals mostly with access to govt computers.
Oh, actually, yes, there it is:
That's a good one, Credit One or any bankster can publish all the data unprotected by anything and all it needs to do is to set the "Warning: you aren't authorized to access the data". Bam, by the magic of security by legislation, the US citizens will pay for the prosecution of the offenders.
