WOMAN PLEADS GUILTY TO HACKING INTO PRIVATE BOXES ON PERSONAL AD COMPANY COMPUTERS AND THREATENING A CUSTOMER

http://spybusters.blogspot.com

The case that I am going to share today is about the woman, Barbara Denenburg, who pleaded guilty for hacking the ad company and  making death threat against Massachusetts woman who she met through company's personal ad service.
the way that the company works is ,the personal ad goes to the newspaper but instead the reader calls directly, in respond, a reader calls a phone number at the company and leaves a message for the person who put th ad on the newspaper.
Using a computer and from he skill Barbara accessed voice-mail boxes of around 200 people who put the ads on the newspaper and changed the password of 40 of these voice-mails and also greeting 25 of them. following her actions, she harassed number of women through personal ad company among them she began harassing a woman by series of Emails, one of which stated that the victim would be executed by lethal injection. in addition to the emails she sent a package including cardboard tombstone which had been written "RIP" , victim's name, date of birth and "Hated by ... all women everywhere" on it. 
the defendant faced a sentences ,under binding plea agreement,  a time served, 23 months already served, following by three years supervised release and $67000 in restitution. 


My comment
this is kind of crime that at the first place is cyber-crime under property and then cyber-crime against a person with the use of computer such as Emails.
this case involves both Hacking and at the same time Cyber Stalking where the victim got the repeated-threatening Emails and it is punishable by law.
For those that are confuse with biding plea arrangement mentioned in the last paragraph of the caes, it is kind of arrangement in which a prosecutor and defendant arrange to settle the disagreement against defendant.

  1. I am shocked. Was she a Philadelphia language teacher? I think that she was mine.

  2. I want to make a point. First of all, everyone is "Innocent Until Proven Guilty". I know Barbara and she is innocent. I am going to stand behind her and I am appalled at how her life has been turned upside down because of this. You have my support, Barbara!

  3. I have known Barbara since early childhood. She is not innocent, however, she is mentally ill. She can and should be held responsible for her actions so that she does not repeat them.

  4. It really appalls me what you said about her and that is libel and slander. I am sticking by her. She needs our support and kindness. She has done good things for people and it is about time she gets kindness in return!

  5. I am one of the Clerks who had privy to this wrongful case.
    First, “Unknown” who on 05/28/2012 claimed to have known
    Mrs.Denenburg and her mental status, Susan Gail Walkup, lied
    profusely and is deemed deranged. She never met Mrs. Denenburg.
    Mrs. Denenburg did not grow up in PA, but grew up in Cheyenne, Wyoming and only had lived in suburban Phila for a few years with her husband. She was a secretary, not a Teacher. She is 4’11” and a natural blonde. Her voice and identity were stolen, and all charges against her will be withdrawn. After intense Investigation, Susan Gail Walkup
    who has a long, serious criminal history, is not only guilty of lying
    and slander, but perjuring herself online. The police in Ms. Walkup’s
    township, stated that Susan Walkup is the Town Yokel, Drunk,
    Druggie, and Dike.
    Walkup has numerous serious mental disorders. Her son is very emotionally troubled, which is no surprise. She made the front page
    of the Philadelphia Inquirer in August 1998, for stealing a gun and
    attempting to shoot her son. Secondly, Louis, has mistaken Mrs.
    Denenburg as a Teacher. She has been a secretary her whole life.
    Those who comment about a person they never met mislead the
    public and commit severe slander. They are the worst.

  9. From Patrick Major, Senior Court
    Clerk: This information is to verify
    Adam’s statements above:

    A woman who identified herself as
    “Unknown” on 05/28/2012 claimed
    to have known Mrs. Denenburg as
    well as her mental status. Upon
    investigation, “Unknown” is Susan
    Gail Walkup, who lied profusely
    and is deemed deranged. She
    never met Mrs. Denenburg. Mrs.
    Denenburg grew up in Cheyenne,
    Wyoming; not in Pennsylvania.
    She had only lived in Suburban
    Philadelphia for a few years
    with her husband, when she
    became the victim of voice
    and identity theft. Mrs.
    Denenburg was an Executive
    Secretary, not a Teacher.
    She is 4’ 11” and a natural blonde.
    All charges and counts against her
    are being are being withdrawn.
    Regarding Susan Gail Walkup,
    aka “Unknown”, has a long,
    serious criminal history and
    is a pathological liar. She is
    guilty of libel and slander
    in her fabricated comments
    above. She has been and is
    guilty of perjury in Court and
    online. The police in Walkup’s
    township stated that Susan
    Gail Walkup “is the Town
    Yokel, Drunk, Druggie, and
    Dike. She has numerous
    severe mental disorders,
    and her grown son who
    lives with her is emotionally
    disturbed, which comes as
    no surprise.” Susan Walkup
    even made the front page
    of the Philadelphia Inquirer
    in August, 1998 for stealing
    a gun and attempting to
    shoot her son.
    Regarding Louis and his
    kind comments above,
    he has mistaken Mrs.
    Denenburg as a Teacher.
    She has been a Secretary
    her whole life.
    Those who comment about
    a person they never met
    mislead the public, cause
    needless aggravation to
    other readers and the
    victim, often commit libel
    and slander. They are the
    worst.
