Aubrey Cottle (aka "Kirtaner") was arrested in Canada and is charged in the U.S. with breaching Epik to deface and download a backup of the Texas Republican Party’s web server containing personal identifying information, which he allegedly posted for public download; prosecutors recovered roughly 20 terabytes of stolen data and cite social-media posts and chat messages as evidence.
