I agree, but note that the "computer hacking" (1030(a)(5)) CFAA claim survived, outright.

Only the extortion (1030(a)(7)) CFAA claim was dismissed, and it was dismissed with leave to amend.

Right. The surviving CFAA claim involves Automattic's takeover of WPEngine's plugin listing. I think this is a stronger claim, since it actually involves unauthorized access (rather than blocking access), and the judge seems to agree.
