Yeah but isn’t that on the provider to verify?

I need to read more of the court case, did he just create a ton of free accounts? If that’s the case, then he shouldn’t be charged with anything because the worst crime he has committed is breaching TOS. Don’t they have arbitration clauses in those?

After reading a bit more it appears he social engineered away some of the limits AWS and Microsoft impose on new customers and just never paid his bills, regardless of how high the bills are. This still seems like a civil case, not a criminal case. If he stole money from a bank, criminal case. But he stole usage from two corporate entities by never paying for the usage. Imagine getting dragged into a criminal case for not paying your telephone bill.

I love how the article mentions these defrauded cloud providers by their headquarters, as if this obscures the fact we’re talking about Amazon Web Services and Microsoft respectively.

Almost as if the article was already written by AI 🤷‍♂️

The media takes a press release, signs off on it and releases it usually word for word a lot. They’ll put their name and brand on it, but that’s a honest to goodness press release.

This article might be a blend, strange that at least on mobile I can’t find an author for this one.
