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 LGBT crowd is not representative of transsexuals and never has been. The administration in most organizations is openly hostile to employing transsexuals, but they sure love their tay transvestites. And they spend lots of time online infiltrating trans women discussion groups before starting to troll that trans women are the same as them - men in dresses (their words). -

    Historically, up until the Moral Majority started their attacks, transsexuality was considered interesting, not perverted. Cover of various family-oriented magazines, favourable newspaper, radio, and TV coverage, nobody out picketing or pushing bathroom bills.

    Of course the gay community resented that they weren't receiving the same respect, same as they resented that transsexuals were always allowed to marry in their new sex in most jurisdictions.

    Many transsexuals say "fuck off" to pride because the LGBT community has never hesitated to throw us under the bus when it was to their advantage. And now with pride just being aboutt making money off corporate sponsorship, why bother? And this is becoming a concern even among gays and lesbians - it's become all about money, power, and creating jobs for buddies.

    There are straight, gay, and lesbian transsexuals - but thanks to all the misinformation pushed by the LGBT organizations, everyone confuses trans women with drag queens, and assumes you must be gay. The only thing to be proud about is finding the courage to be yourself in a hostile world - and that doesn't merit a parade. At least not in my book.

    It was also prior to California nut cases dressing up their five-year-old's and asking courts to provide hormone and surgical "help" to their kids who are barely old enough to be cognizant that they aren't superman, transformers, ninjas or any other fantasy personas.
