This CBS article has more info:

"Neo Nasrati, CEO of ColumbusSoft, which acquired Seattle Software Solutions from its previous owner, said Thompson was a "very talented 'white hat' ethical hacker" who excelled at testing clients' security systems for flaws."

"Thompson doesn't appear to have accessed the bank accounts or sold the data. Amazon says the knowledge that was used to obtain Capital One's files was something that could be found out by anyone, and wasn't information that would have been obtained from working at the company."
