good detective work ... the hacker will get off because she’s secretly engaged to Caitland (Bruce) Jenner ...

You, obviously, mean that very, very, very much.

Some of the points are weak - “scumbag”, for example, is something I hear used by men frequently, and there are reasons why a hacker might go for some data that is not financially valuable, if they have an axe to grind (say, caught his/her spouse using the site).

However, the conclusion seems pretty solid, the above points don’t need to be true for the overall analysis to be correct.

The conclusion may or may not be correct, but much of the evidence cited is nonsense.

1) scumbag is commonly used by men.

2) It would be unusual for any important documents to be stored exclusively on the hard drives of the CEO or other executives. Most confidential files would be stored on those individuals’ personal sections on a shared network drive (unless we are talking about the IRS.)

And he’s basing much of his conclusion on the statements of the hacker(s). Because someone(s) who would do something like this hack would also be above lying about their motives for doing so...and could be trusted implicitly.

I’d give equal weight to a male contractor finding his wife on there or a older male contractor finding the son-in-law on there too.

Or an IT worker who happened to have been a customer discovering that the data he’d paid $19 to conceal had been kept after all...

As far as I can tell, most all of the ‘hacks’ recently have been ‘insider’ jobs.
