> She is charged with a single count of computer fraud and faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Her lawyer declined to comment. We need to start putting the hammer down on these people; maximum five years, meaning she/he will probably do one year. The US needs to start making examples and these people and increase penalties.
The New York Times has also picked up the story: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/29/business/capital-one-data...
That is some old school naming.
Well, on the bright side it's a woman in IT. If only she were being recognized for something good, not bad.
Looks like transexual to me. https://heavy.com/news/2019/07/paige-adele-thompson/

Actually looks like she worked for Amazon on S3. So there might have been some insider knowledge. From the complaint below, and googling her name you can find her resume I won't link it here, but here's a screenshot of a snippet: https://i.imgur.com/NezWVKw.png
Are Git and SVN really considered IDEs?
I think the minimum to be considered an IDE, you need to be able to edit, possibly compile depending on the language, and run/debug from within the same tool. By last loose definition, I've joked my most used "IDE" would be bash. I can edit with vim, compile/link with make/gcc/ld, and debug using gdb or run my bins directly.
I mean it's an integrated development environment in that I can access all of my tools from one centralized location, the bash shell, but certainly not integrated in the sense that I have a GUI that hides the nuances of commands of various tools behind menus and friendlier non-command-line names and making it appear that the half dozen or so tools are a single entity.
I also use Visual Studio for Windows development and I've been switching between VS Code and PyCharm for Python development.
But are git and svn an IDE? No. They are both merely source control management systems.
I wonder why data security professionals don't practice compartmentalization. 100 million accounts should not be accessible from one account. It should be like watertight compartments in a ship. Breaching one doesn't sink the ship.
I asked if my personal data was stored in files downloaded to the laptop, they said yes.
When I asked why my data needed to be downloaded to the laptop and not limited to just online access they stopped responding.
This of course was the same company who mailed me my co-workers salary in spreadsheet form, twice because my name was similar to another manager.
Why that was necessary was beyond me too.
How is this person's information wiped off the Internet? I literally cannot find anything related to her. Is it just me?

Uh, I don't see anything in the article that indicates she is transgender.
See the Twitter account mentioned above. Keep scrolling back to around July 20th.
In fact, I'm very surprised that my post highlighting the bullying actions of prosecutors against transgender people was flagged. This is a very real issue, as anyone with any experience of the criminal justice system is aware.
I downloaded the indictment (edit: complaint, not indictment) from PACER: https://www.dropbox.com/s/z7u5rxcdajuvw6t/19718675504.pdf?dl...
Good lord. -Paige left code used in the "attack" on her GitHub. -Paige left text files with unencrypted data there, too. -Paige openly posted about it in an open (!!!) Slack channel and publicly named her VPN service of choice, which of course, matched access logs AND GitHub server logs. (Also tor, which the FBI agent was able to confirm and add yet another data point) -Paige said "I have a leak proof IPredator route…
I guess this is how we all finally get paid for our data. Just continually file for our $125 check as every company that exists is hacked over the next decade.
