I'm out of the loop here, I thought Paramount emailed a link to the file, now he's a hacker?

Even then, it's probably predicated on the idea that a reasonable person would realize that it was sent in error and that even though they've received the email they're not authorized to access the systems that the link points to.

It's still ridiculous the penalties, globally, for 'hacking' wya out of proportion.

However, a report from the Hollywood Reporter revealed that the leak didn’t come from within Paramount but from a hacker from PeggleCrew—the same troupe behind an infamous 2016 cyberattack on the hosting website FossHub.

Sounds like BS to me, kinda like they're trying to hide their incompetence and an excuse to nail the guy

Why would anyone trust corporate media on this?
