I'm a bit surprised this is a criminal offense. What control does the FTC have over storage of personal data anyway?

  The criminal offense is not the hack, it's the concealment.

    In fact, the two people responsible for the hack, Brandon Glover and Vasiley Mereacre, are awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty in federal court; they'll be sentenced next February.

      'Vasile', which I think is the Romanian variant.

  I thought the corporate shield prevented employees from criminality. Isn't this the argument used against all of the financial malfeasance?

    There is no truth to that at all. Corporate liability protects employees in a subset of civil cases; even when employers are charged in tort cases, employees are often charged as well.
