- JacobAldridge 14y agoWell, they used a proxy to log into their own account, so probably not. Had they tried to demonstrate this using someone else's SSN, then yup - lock 'em up!
- driverdan 14y agoThe laws apply to any electronic access or communications, including phone. In this case they accessed their own account so no laws have been broken.
- smsm42 14y agoIf they stole data from 100K bank accounts using SSN generator and then sent those to the press - yes, probably. Since they instead accessed their own account to which they were authorized to connect anyway - no, not right.
