    I took that to mean no one at Reddit bothered to check what was stolen.

      Likewise, to me I interpreted as “There was no attempt (from reddit) to find out what we took.”

      How do people even know what’s been stolen? I know if someone logged into my server and copied stuff, they only way I’d know would be higher data usage.

        Either server logs, or the hackers sending them part of the data they have to prove they’re ligit. I assume the latter would have happened if Reddit had shown any interest in negotiating.
