You can't say the same for the other packages sent in a cyberstalking campaign allegedly orchestrated by eBay management and targeted at a Natick, Massachusetts couple who run an online e-commerce newsletter that's sometimes critical of eBay.
On Monday, the office of Massachusetts US Attorney Andrew Lelling announced that six former eBay employees have been charged with "Aggressive" cyberstalking of the couple, including some of them coming up with an excuse to fly in to Boston in order to rent a van and drive out to Natick to conduct covert surveillance.
Stephanie Popp, 32, of San Jose, eBay's former Senior Manager of Global Intelligence; Stephanie Stockwell, 26, of Redwood City, Calif., the former manager of eBay's Global Intelligence Center; Veronica Zea, 26, of San Jose, a former eBay contractor who worked as an intelligence analyst in the GIC; and Brian Gilbert, 51, of San Jose, a former Senior Manager of Special Operations for eBay's Global Security Team.
Baugh, Gilbert, Popp and another eBay security employee allegedly planned the messages to become increasingly disturbing, culminating with doxing the victims' home address.
At one point, Baugh, Gilbert, Popp, and Stockwell allegedly plotted to fabricate another eBay "Person of Interest" document that could be offered to the police as a lead on some of the harassing deliveries.
