Interesting. Another Sandia Labs employee was nabbed for hacking and stalking Chester Bennington and his family in 2006. Can't help but wonder...was she a govt. gangstalker who was disowned when caught doing her job?

From the article:

"Between Jan. 1, 2006, and Nov. 16, 2006, while still working at Sandia Labs, she used the e-mail account to view pictures of the Bennington's young children, read business correspondence, look at information about the family and the band's travel plans, and review online billing accounts.

In addition to stalking the vocalist online, the woman also traveled on two different occasions to try to see Bennington. On one of those occasions, she used information she obtained from his online accounts to listen to his voice mail to find out where Bennington would be eating.

According to the criminal complaint, Townsend also created two new Yahoo e-mail accounts to send anonymous messages to Bennington's wife and family friends. Describing herself as "someone who knows too much," she threatened to make private information about the Bennington family public. She also sent an e-mail to Bennington's wife that contained a hyperlink to a Web site that had a story about cyberstalking."
