A former systems engineer has been arrested on charges that she hacked into Capital One’s network and stole sensitive data for about 106 million people, according to an FBI court filing and a statement from the Virginia-based bank.

Paige A. Thompson, 33, of Seattle was an employee of an unnamed cloud-computing company from 2015 to 2016, FBI Special Agent Joel Martini wrote in a criminal complaint filed on Monday. A GitHub account belonging to her showed that, earlier this year, someone exploited a firewall vulnerability in Capital One’s network that allowed an attacker to execute a series of commands on the bank’s servers.
