    I read the article... it says that the CFAA somehow prevents people from doing legitimate research, but fails to even give a single example of actually how this happens. How does the law that is supposed prevent computer fraud stop a person from doing research, exactly?

    How's this?

    I hadn't realized it the first time around but this was also a MongoDB database. Not that it really matters, the CEO makes them all sound incompetent.

    They tend to get upity about people they don't know about touching cash registers too. Though, maybe you could go unnoticed, they also seldom tell you up front "we keep our security footage for 10 days" so its not like you can be sure that you were not recorded doing it.

    Despite these measures, somebody managed to tamper with POS terminals in dozens of Michaels stores across the US in 2011 (and ALDI markets the year before) and get away with it. In this case they were skimming PINs. The Secret Service investigated, and two guys were caught a year later. But the guys convicted were ATM cash withdrawers hired for the job, not the masterminds or the POS tamperers.

    'hackers breached the site, then modified it to redirect users to a rogue URL that in turn directed attack code against their systems'

    'was this breach similar to what happened in the FISERV/CheckFree incident, or did something else happen?'
