SUSPECT MAY HAVE HACKED MORE THAN 30 ORGANIZATIONS
Federal prosecutors say that a woman charged in a massive data breach at Capital One may have hacked more than 30 other organizations.
Seattle resident Paige Thompson was arrested last month after the FBI said she obtained personal information from more than 100 million Capital One credit applications. There is no evidence the data was sold or distributed to others.
In a memorandum filed before a detention hearing, rescheduled from Thursday to Aug. 22, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Seattle said servers found in Thompson’s bedroom contained data stolen from more than 30 unnamed companies, educational institutions and other entities.
Prosecutors said much of that data did not appear to contain personal identifying information.
Investigators are still working to identify the affected organizations.
American Airlines seeks flight-cancellation cash from unions.
FORT WORTH,
» American Airlines TEXAS wants two labor unions to pay damages and the company’s attorney fees, saying they ignored a judge’s order to quickly end a work slowdown by mechanics.
American hasn’t put a dollar figure on its request but says the slowdown caused “enormous financial losses” from canceled flights.
Earlier this week, U.S. District Court Judge John McBryde ruled for American in its lawsuit against the Transport Workers Union and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, which represent the mechanics.
American says workers took longer to fix planes and refused overtime to pressure the company during contract negotiations.
The airline says the slowdown continued after the judge issued an injunction in mid-June.
