No it doesn't. If it has been abandoned it is not property belonging to another.

Why do you remain convinced that they were guilty of log-in sharing as most of your posts seem to be based around this premise?Nobody is saying that. Just because we're discussing how City allowed the data breach doesn't reduce the level of the crime of data theft that was committed. Data breaches are subject to regulatory investigations and fines in some industries, especially so after GDPR, so while the culprit may be subject to 100% guilt for their crime, the victim organisation can also be punished and guilty of not taking proper steps to prevent it. Two different crimes, if you like, caused by one offence.

smevchenko appears to believe that the concept of 'finders keepers' has some actual basis in English law
[emphasis added]Actually it does, but only where the property in question has been abandoned by its previous owner.

I respectfully disagree. Just because proerty has been found, doesn't mean it's been abandoned; it may have been lost.
You two; get a (court)room![emphasis added]

WhatevsIt may, in which case 'theft by finding' might be committed by anyone who then appropriates someone else's lost property. But that doesn't arise if you are talking about property that has been abandoned, rather than lost. I didn't say 'finders keepers' applies to all property found, just that which has been abandoned.
I like this ‘down with the kids’ way of posting, mate.Whatevs
I am very street tbf.I like this ‘down with the kids’ way of posting, mate.
I've got this image of people walking round Liverpool, pointing at stuff, saying, "that's abandoned ... that's abandoned ... that's abandoned".
