I can only hope that the hacker uploaded specific data of publicly elected officials to the usenet before arrest.

A little taste of "TIA" would be a good thing for them...

the individual in police custody is a former employee of one of Acxiom's clients

This is why you get escorted to the door and aren't allowed to touch a keyboard on the way out. :-)

Sounds like this Acxxiom was dumb to bring this to the attention of the press. Let sleeping dogs lie. No harm , no foul. Sounds like that (hacker?) dude didn't use it for any advantage, prolly was gonna expunge it anyway in due time.

Axiom should hire that dude/dudette? to be head of computor security!!!!No doubt!!

while the person had legitimate access to Acxiom servers.

Can you read that, LIGITIMATE ACCESS. nO HARM ,,NO FOUL...THEY just need to make the Federal people drop the charges...they sure don't need the publicity it will get on NBC, CBS ABC, FOX, CNN et. A millon $ in BAD publicity!!Just drop it.
