Capitol Police have arrested a suspect in the doxxing of senators and releasing personal information onto the internet.Jackson A. Cosko, 27, of Washington, D.C., was charged Wednesday with “making public restricted personal information,†witness tampering, unauthorized access of a government computer, identity theft, second degree burglery, unlawful entry and threats in interstate communications.The Capitol Police investigation is ongoing and Cosko could face additional charges, according to USCP spokesperson Eva Malecki.On Monday, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s home addresses in Kentucky and Washington D.C. were added to his public Wikipedia page.During last week’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing with testimony from Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and one of his accusers, Christine Blasey Ford, the personal home addresses, home phone numbers, cellphone numbers and email addresses of Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., Orrin G. Hatch and Mike Lee, both R-Utah, were added to the public Wikipedia pages from what appeared to be an IP address connected to the Capitol.
According to Legistorm, he worked for U.S. Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-NH) and previously worked for Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA). A September 2018 letter from Sheila Jackson Lee (D -TX) identifies him as a staffer for her office.https://heavy.com/news/2018/10/jackson-cosko/?ref=hvper.com----------------He worked for some big hitters.
And now he's facing 30+ at club fed!
with cybersecurity expertise
He kinda reminds me of Pajama Boy.... so he should be a real hit in the federal pen.
Hmmm! Maybe Fox got it wrong.https://www.foxnews.com/politics/democratic-staffer-arrested-in-doxxing-of-gop-senators-during-kavanaugh-hearing
That Fox link doesn't work now.
Probably because they got it wrong?
I wonder if all this had something to do with Sheila Jackson Lee passing a letter to the dems on the committee
Nope! https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/us-capitol-police-arrest-suspect-behind-doxing-of-at-least-one-senator
That's what I've been reading. I don't know why your link was 404?
Cosko is listed in the 2018 Senate directory phone book as Sen. Maggie Hassan's legislative correspondent/systems administrator, and a LinkedIn profile for somebody with the same name states he left the New Hampshire Democrat's office in May. Cosko was also listed as a staff member for Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee on a Dear Colleague letter the Texas Democrat circulated last month.
From the article.
I haven't read anything in conflict with that. I still don't know why the link went 404. I say that I'm mystified because I saw that link (leading to the 404) on several Bookface posts.
That's Sheila JACKson Lee, I do believe.
