Yeah. There was some HN discussion about it when the story broke too; maybe someone can dig it up on HN Search.
I think the civil suit will probably be dismissed due to lack of evidence, but it’s likely the police have probable cause to start a surveillance warrant. At that point, either she’ll stop all activity (which it doesn’t seem like she’s doing) or it’s inevitable they’ll catch her in the act.
The slim hope is that maybe it’s not her, or that police won’t pour a lot of resources into surveilling her. Maybe she’ll get lucky. But given the aggressive ways law enforcement has gone after people for e.g. scraping AT&T’s website, I wouldn’t bet on it.
