computer intrusion described herein.
10. In or about early June 2002, I spoke with a
representative of LexisNexis (the “LexisNexis Representative”) on
a number of occasions. The LexisNexis Representative advised me
that five userids/passwords under the New York Times’ account
with LexisNexis had been used to conduct more than 3,000 searches
over a period of three months. The five userids were
TOOMANYSECRETS, PROTAGONIST, LOCUST, VAISHNAV and NU1UJB. The
LexisNexis representative also advised me that during the month
of February 2002, the searches conducted by these five
userids/passwords ‘represented approximately 18% of all searches
performed under the New York Times account. The LexisNexis
Representative advised me that he had communicated with the New
York Times about the activity under the compromised
userids/passwords and confirmed that the userids/passwords were
created using the fictitious Eric Yee user account. The
LexisNexis Representative advised me that these userids/passwords
had been used to access LexisNexis services from, among other
places, IP addresses associated with two Kinko’s locations, one
in Oxnard, California and one in Sacramento Valley, California.*®
The LexisNexis Representative further advised me that the charges
incurred through the use of the five compromised
userids/passwords amounted to approximately $300,000.
, In a number of articles published by reporters who have
interviewed LAMO, it is reported that LAMO carried out many of
his computer intrusions from his laptop at a Kinko’s location.
