As for the other people in the company that used his credentials to access the competitors site, it's possible to prosecute them, but you'll have to prove intent. That might be tricky to prove because the defense can argue that they didn't intend to hack the site, because they thought Zaidi was properly authorized to use the site. [1] There are some exceptions, eg. if you're a teacher and you learn about child abuse

Moreover they induced Zaidi to commit the offenses he's been prosecuted for _and_ co-ordinated a set of employees to access the victim's network _and_ showed that off internally. How is that not criminal conspiracy unless it doesn't count against Ticketmaster if they just say the magic words that they didn't know?
