Suspected Capital One hacker threatened to “shoot up” a California social media company and was living in a house-turned-arsenal with a convicted felon who had once been arrested for being part of a “contract murder plot,” federal court papers reveal.

threatened to “shoot up” a California social media company and was living in a house-turned-arsenal with a convicted felon who had once been arrested for being part of a “contract murder plot,” federal court papers in Seattle revealed.Paige Thompson, a former Seattle software engineer, was identified as “Person 1” in a motion to detain her housemate, Park Hung Quan, a source confirmed to NBC News.

It was not clear if any of the information Thompson allegedly snatched was passed to third-parties. She was charged with one count of computer fraud and abuse and faces up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Among other things, police found “several assault rifles, a sniper rifle, and hand guns,” the papers state. “Some of the guns were loaded, including one with a high capacity magazine. Further, some of the guns appears to be illegal firearms.”, a device that enables a shooter to fire a semi-automatic rifle like a machine gun, as well as high-capacity magazines, ammunition and “inert replica grenades.

Quan was hit with a Felon in Possession of a Firearm charge. And the court papers revealed that Quan had at least three prior felony convictions starting in the 1970s when he was in the army and court-martialed for trying to steal military weapons.

Scary.

'Those who live by the sword, die by the sword.' This country murdered lots of ppl just 2 become this country. And they never paid chattel slaves nor chattel slaves descendants restitution 4 free slave labor.

Don’t forget page was a dude who liked to where women’s clothes

Holy shit!

😡😡whole world going mad

I'm starting to wonder if it's safe to leave my own home.

selectedwisdom I drove by their house yesterday. Looks like a sad situation. What I see is a disturbed, disgruntled person with access to too much data and too many guns.

najellapril There was so much disturbing information in just that one headline I had to read it twice.

selectedwisdom Not all hackers have their act together. Republicans think sketchy voting machines help them maintain power. In fact, McConnell's refusal to secure American elections is especially scary because we never know what a hacker's agenda might be. GaSecofState

najellapril That selfie...“It puts the lotion in the basket” 😳

b1e56df9ce6549f At least his hack was targeted in the right direction...

selectedwisdom bullshit, with her achievements so far, it's clear she could have all the power and $ she wanted. she could destroy someone without them even being aware.

Very 2019

Tell trump to walk down the streets of Baltimore alone no nazi guards or in that fact any major U.S. city and lets see how much the people love you. They would rip the flesh of you like piranha in a couple of minutes. Let's do that.

Sounds like a good hacker 🤣🤣🤣nbçnews lol

selectedwisdom I’m beginning to think she hadn’t yet figured out how to monetize her haul? That doesn’t look like an estate in the Hollywood Hills...

What's wrong with this picture......❓

The guy she was living with was one of three men charged with conspiring to kill a Seattle man in 1983 by planting a bomb made from four sticks of dynamite under his pickup truck. “The attempted murder failed only because the bomb malfunctioned.”

Almost always California. Time to secede, California. Then you can raise taxes to 90%, have no border with Mexico, offer free everything to every person. I’m sure it will all work out.

Sounds like good TV sitcom material.

PrincessBravato What is an assault rifle? What is a sniper rifle?

Any word what cabinet post Trump is going to nominate him for?

How secure is your data if someone like this can steal it?

Them darn democrats

Wow.

I’m glad she’s now in custody.

Good grief !

We have a mental disorder problem disguised as a gun control problem

Wow another disgruntled social media fan!

I think I just got Madlib Yahtzee...

What lovely people we have....ugh.

Trump follower 👀🙄
