New Allegations: Capital One Suspect Stole From 30+ Organizations
The woman allegedly responsible for the massive breach of customer data at Capital One stole data from 30 other organizations, according to new information from prosecutors.
In a new court filing, they alleged that Paige Thompson stole terabytes of information from enterprises, educational institutions and other organizations, although she claims not to have sold or distributed any of it to others.
The information is being revealed as part of efforts by prosecutors to persuade the judge to deny bail.
It alleges that Thompson has a history of threatening behavior, including threats to kill others and herself. She is also said to have harassed a couple for seven years, forcing them to obtain a protection order.
Investigators found the new information on data breaches on servers in Thompson’s bedroom.
“That data varies significantly in both type and amount. For example, much of the data appears not to be data containing personal identifying information,” the court filing explained.
“At this point, however, the government is continuing to work to identify specific entities from which data was stolen, as well as the type of data stolen from each entity. The government expects to add an additional charge against Thompson based upon each such theft of data, as the victims are identified and notified.”

Actually, a rather small fraction of the population has accepted your version of reality. A larger fraction goes along with your version, just to get along. The remainder of us? We know that you've gotta be nuts to want your pecker chopped off. Or, in the reverse, you would have to be just as crazy to want your feminine parts chopped away, and replaced with some imitation woody.
It's important that you understand that your world is only a small part of the human world. Your small part of the human world gets an unfair, disproportional amount of attention, primarily because transgenders make a disproportional amount of noise.

SoylentNews is social media. Says so right in the slogan. Soylentnews is people, not tech.

Is that a threat?
I agree with GP, it's nuts. And while publicly normalizing arrant nuttiness like chopping off part of your body may get you virtue signaling points in today's America, I'll use my anonymity to say what I think.
None of the townsfolk wanted to put their name to saying the emperor was naked either.

If it requires medical treatment it is a disorder, no way around it. And instead of changing the body research should be made to change your brain...

I'll agree with that. Dump out the crazy brain (don't feed it to animals) and put in a sane brain who will appreciate their new body.
