Those emails we're exposed to the public. Weev's security company exposed "gaping holes". AT&T are at fault for exposing their customers information in the first place.

Anybody COULD have done harm with those emails. He didn't. He used them as a fodder for public discussion about internet security.

AT&T should owe him a "thank you".

AT&T customers owe AT&T a boycott for being irresponsible with their information.

Finding a security hole is not a get-out-of-jail-free card.

I think the question of AT&T having responsibility for inadequate controls is very interesting. I would like to see AT&T face some repercussions for it. Not _instead of_ weev receiving punishment, but _in addition to_.
