appeals court orders new sentencing for capital one hacker paige thompson
An appeals court has deemed Paige Thompson's sentence for the Capital One data theft too lenient, prompting a new sentencing hearing. Thompson, who stole data from over 100 million applicants and caused $40 million in damages, was originally sentenced to time served and five years of probation. The court emphasized that her personal vulnerabilities should not overshadow the seriousness of her crimes, which could carry up to 20 years in prison.
