MSNBC just said that Russia stole Americans identities

[BigmanPigman]

through various ways and one was to get info and bank accounts via PayPal, etc. so this is an extremely complicated and very diverse Russian tech/cold war. Malcolm Nance said this is only one strand of Russian data mining and collection.

2. Not only that....

There seems to be a Russian mole masquerading as an American President.

3. God. Nance has been dead on about this all along, right back to when it seemed like science fiction.

4. The indictment mentions that this was part of a larger operation

that included other organizations. Also it identifies elaborate attempts to hide the money, as it all flowed through multiple passthrough entitities.

I think it's safe to say that if Mueller found this part, he found the rest too.

5. One of the many ways they stole American voter data& id's.

What a damn mess.
When this thing is finally completed someday, the truth will be stunning indeed.

6. They also stole inactive Facebook accounts and posted phony stories.

7. Hope they stole my socks

I haven't spent much time in Facebook jail lately and I'd bet they're lonely.

8. Did they really say PayPal ?! that's some sKrong statement

[BigmanPigman]

9. Yes, they did.

It struck me since I have a PayPal account. I never do any banking on line since I don't trust anyone...now PayPal is included.

10. Found out more info; Its the guy who plead guilty that was setting up fake PP accounts

... using other peoples names to get around PP's instaban.

They weren't cracking any PP accounts just going a loophole in PP policy.

Still some messed up stuff

[BigmanPigman]

12. I assume that means accounts are safe still?

[uponit7771]

14. AFAIK, the guy who pleaded guilty didn't break into PP accounts just set up fake

... bank accounts to get around the PayPal instaban.

If PP was cracked hacked that would be deal breaker seeing a lot of sites don't hold CC information for this very reason.

13. I have been saying for quite a while.
