@SpaceCowboy @JackbyDev In a legal context there's also the concept of a "reasonable expectation of privacy". The computer abuse and fraud act defines hacking as accessing data or systems you are not authorized to access. A better analogy is putting your journal in a public library and getting mad when somone reads it.I'm not saying what these ass holes did was right, I'm saying that the company weakened their legal position by not protecting the data.
