The weev case was a travesty from start to finish. The failure on ATT's part is legendary. The "secret" information was only ever exposed to a professional journalist, who didn't pass it on to anyone. Nothing happened in New Jersey. And of course, as the appellate court found:

...no evidence was advanced at trial that the account slurper ever breached any password gate or other code-based barrier. The account slurper simply accessed the publicly facing portion of the login screen and scraped information that AT&T unintentionally published. [0]
