It's a shame that the CFAA is used to prosecute people who bulk download articles from JSTOR instead of crimes like this. The DOJ should work with Indian law enforcement to track down this firm and get information on their customers. It's clearly being run as a legitimate business and I suspect it would be trivial to recover records.
Activity like this makes everyone poorer in terms of the actual damage done by the breach as well as all the extra security work that has to be done by Gmail, Dropbox, etc to prevent further abuses like this. It's exactly the type of activity the government needs to protect us from.
