Pretty sure this is brand new. So brazen, this hacker dressed up as a pink ranger, committed illicit acts on stage at a conference and was applauded into oblivion. All her victims, from her stolen data are available on her website, well documented in that reddit thread.

Sure seems like something like this is able to be prosecuted? I mean surely. The security on those websites was apparently horrendous, not ignoring that. But these acts are clearly illegal.
There's details about how she designed an ai to basically act like a model citizen in order to "root out the fascists". And plastered their personal information online. In Germany with the number of crazy people there, putting them probably in very real danger, all for the crime of wanting to date someone white.
Edit: Granted these plebbitors are 90% bots anyway. They do not represent the majority.
