I was under the impression AT&T decided not to prosecute. They
realized they had fucked up by publishing email addresses without
authentication, and that there probably wasn't a case.

I heard it was the DOJ that decided to take up the case and file against weev.

On another note, has anyone tried to file a class action against AT&T
for publishing private information? Is that even illegal? At the very
least, could you use it to get out of your contract early without
paying a early termination fee? "You said my information would only be
shared between you and your affiliates, by publishing you broke your
own terms of service so it's now void and unenforceable"
