A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Is there any way to validate these claims?
No, haha. They also didn't bother to check what was stolen, so they could have very well gotten 80G of memes.
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.
I read that to mean Reddit didn’t try to identify the stolen data, rather than the exploitists. Is that right?
