Paige Thompson convicted over data theft from AWS user accounts
> Capital One, which is one of 30 institutions hacked by Thompson<p>AKA: Capital One left customer data in a publically available s3 bucket.<p>I'm not defending what this "hacker" did at all but this is 100% the company's fault. That $270M? That's from fines and settling a class action by their customers. Again, not defending the hacker but all the hacker really did was shine a light on this (doesn't appear they sold/used the data unless I'm missing something).
