DoJ ‘very disappointed’ with probation sentence for Capital One hacker Paige Thompson
that Lasnik said time in prison would be particularly difficult for Ms. Thompson because of her mental health and transgender status.
“While we understand the mitigating factors, we are very disappointed with the court’s sentencing decision. This is not what justice looks like,”U.S. Attorney Nick Brown. “Ms. Thompson’s hacking and theft of information of 100 million people did more than $250 million in damage to companies and individuals. Her cybercrimes created anxiety for millions of people who are justifiably concerned about their private information. This conduct deserves a more significant sanction.
Prosecutors sought a sterner sentence, arguing in a sentencing memo that “…Thompson’s crimes … were fully intentional and grounded in spite, revenge, and wilful disregard for the law.” “She exhibited a smug sense of superiority and outright glee while committing these crimes…. Thompson was motivated to make money at other people’s expense, to prove she was smarter than the people she hacked, and to earn bragging rights in the hacking community.” ®
