Paige Thompson, the perpetrator of the Capital One data theft, may be sent back behind bars – after an appeals court ruled her sentence of time served plus five years of probation was too lenient. …

Stealing this one from TheRegister’s comments section XD XD

Throw the book at her, not just the Paige…

I’m pleasantly surprised to see the perpetrator as “She”.

HELLFIRE She then bragged about the score on GitHub,

Really why would she be so dumb?

Some crooks just have a compulsion to explain everything.

Like in the James Bond movies where the bad guys always feel they have to EXPLAIN everything to James Bond, rather than just killing him right away. So he always escapes.

This was made fun of in at least one of the Austin Powers movies.
