A former Amazon Web Services (AWS) engineer has been found guilty of hacking into customers\u2019 cloud storage systems and stealing data linked to the massive 2019 Capital One breach<\/a>. A US District Court in Seattle convicted Paige Thompson of seven counts of computer and wire fraud on Friday, a crime punishable by up to 20 years in prison.<\/p>\n
Thompson, who also went by the name \u201cErratic\u201d online, was arrested for carrying out the Capital One hack in July 2019<\/a>. The breach was one of the largest ever recorded, exposing the names, birth dates, social security numbers, email addresses, and phone numbers of over 100 million people in the US and Canada. Capital One has since been fined $80 million<\/a> for allegedly failing to secure users\u2019 data and settled with affected customers for $190 million<\/a>.<\/p>\n
A press release from the Department of Justice<\/a> (DOJ) states Thompson developed a tool that scanned AWS for misconfigured accounts and then leveraged these accounts to gain access to the systems of Capital One and dozens of other AWS customers. Prosecutors also say Thompson \u201chijacked\u201d companies\u2019 servers to install cryptocurrency mining software that would transfer any earnings to her personal crypto wallet. She then \u201cbragged\u201d about her misdoings in online forums and over text messages.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cShe exploited mistakes to steal valuable data and sought to enrich herself\u201d<\/q><\/aside>\n<\/div>\nAt the time, there was some debate as to whether Thompson was an ethical hacker or security researcher due to her unusual candidness about her role in the Capital One attack online<\/a> \u2014 she posted customers\u2019 sensitive data on a public GitHub page and shared the details of the breach on Twitter and Slack. Earlier this year, the Justice Department made it clear that it wouldn\u2019t prosecute security researchers<\/a> under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. But US prosecutors obviously weren\u2019t convinced Thompson\u2019s actions fell under this exception.<\/p>\n
\u201cFar from being an ethical hacker trying to help companies with their computer security, she exploited mistakes to steal valuable data and sought to enrich herself,\u201d US attorney Nick Brown said in a statement. Thompson\u2019s sentencing hearing will take place on September 15th, 2022.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
