The hackers had accessed and downloaded 50,000 addresses containing customer credit cards and passwords. Umbrella Technology was looking to law enforcement officials to protect their intellectual property.
The intruder entered through an employee's home machine, which was connected to Umbrella Technology's corporate VPN network.
