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.”

The only reason you don't fall out of bed at night is your sense of proprioception. It's the sense of where your various body parts are in relation to the whole and your environment. It's so deeply ingrained that people don't even notice it, but for the few who don't have it, their various limbs can just move at random if they don't keep an eye on them.
One electrician with defective proprioception looked away from his work, and ended up touching high voltage equipment and burning his hands off to the elbows.
When this sense is temporarily impaired, you have sleeping parents who roll onto their babies, killlng them.
You use this sense all the time, walking, touch typing, reaching sight unseen for the coffee cup, not stabbing yourself in the face with your fork while eating, playing musical instruments, taking a shower , etc.
It also helps you get around when it's too dark to see. Or you're low vision. It's why you can get dressed in the dark if you don't want to turn on the lights and wake up your s.o. And yet most people don't even know this sense exists. Same as they don't know that they have an innate fixed sense of their sex, even though they know what sex they are.

I don't feel it either. The only sense of sex I've gotten has been from society. Other than say, being made fun of, doesn't matter much to me. My consciousness doesn't care, I just want to do what I want to do. Maybe its just that I know the rules are made up and sexuality isn't a huge part of my identity like it seems to be in others.

Lots of people are asexual. But lots, like 2-5%.

I know whom I'm attracted to, which is what really matters to me. People's gender is a bit like their name. Some get caught up in the subject, many don't. Obviously it's important while having sex, but other gender roles are social constructs.
Boys get building toys and are expected to be tough. Girls get dolls and are expected to be delicate. That doesn't mean a boy who likes dolls and is too scared to fight is a girl inside, or a girl who likes to build and fight is really a boy. Seems weird that people get medical treatment to try to fit those restrictive social molds.
