Chief of Police, Cynthia McAlister, thinks using emails that were concluded after an investigation as “spoofed” is her “smoking gun”. My question is McAlister been smoking?”
For those unfamiliar with this term “spoofed” means: Email spoofing is the creation of email messages with a forged sender address. Because the core email protocols do not have any mechanism for authentication, it is common for spam and phishing emails to use such spoofing to mislead or even prank the recipient about the origin of the message.
Bringing everyone up to speed. Karen Jimmerson, former Town Council Representative, confirmed the email servers for the Town of Purcellville were “hacked” and/or otherwise “compromised”. She went on to explain in addition to spooked emails that Nuckolls did not author there were additional emails that had been spoofed identified. For example, emails alluding to an extramarital affair Mayor Fraser, offering inappropriate graphic details that resulted in an illegitimate child. Other emails that alleged an extramarital affair between Karen Jimmerson and another Town Council Representative.
It was clear the towns system had been hijacked. Karen Jimmerson went on to share the emails that appeared to be authored in a similar vulgar nature.
The town was so concerned Mayor Fraser had the IT Department work over a weekend and a couple of evenings addressing the issue. After the FBI got involved it was deemed inconclusive where the originating source came from, otherwise concluding the emails were spoofed.
So exactly it begs the question why LOUDOUNNOW and Loudoun Times Mirror continuing to publish this false and slanderous stories, 3 years later.
