Fan hacks singer’s cell phone data using national lab computer.
A woman is accused of using a computer at a national laboratory to hack into a cell phone company's Website to get a number for Chester Bennington, lead singer of the rock group Linkin Park. According to an affidavit filed by the Department of Defense Inspector General, Devon Townsend, 27, obtained copies of Bennington's cell phone bill, the phone numbers he called and digital pictures taken with the phone. Investigators said she also hacked into the e−mail of Bennington's wife, Talinda Bennington, and at one point called her and threatened her. Townsend is accused of using a computer at her former workplace, Sandia National Laboratories, to access Bennington's cell phone information. Lab spokesperson Michael Padilla said Wednesday, November 22, that Townsend no longer worked there. Townsend's attorney, Ray Twohig, said that investigators were still analyzing his client's computer and that it remains to be seen what exact violations will be alleged. Townsend's computer wasn't connected to classified data, Padilla said.
