Capital One has been a major Amazon Web Services customer since at least 2016.

On Monday evening, federal prosecutors said that tech worker Paige A. Thompson has been charged with computer fraud and abuse for stealing data from millions of Capital One customers. Thompson allegedly took advantage of a"firewall misconfiguration" that gave her access to data stored in a Capital One cloud server, according to the criminal complaint.
