Kind of like the AT&T "hack" wherein just changing the url leaked other customers info.

They were still successfully prosecuted though. And AT&T received no punishment.

When a company says jump the USG asks how high.

No way...I don't remember hearing about this. You mean changing the URL from like /data/customer/1 to /data/customer/2 ? And the person who did this was prosecuted? Jeez.
