the main criminal complaint against Stokes stems from a May 2025 attack

Wow, that's fast. Yet they still haven't arrested anyone Epstein trafficked to. Odd.

attackers apparently called the company's IT helpdesk using Google Voice, posing as employees. They were able to convince the help desk into resetting their credentials

And what are the odds their helpdesk was outsourced to India?

From what we can tell, GDID pretty much had a comprehensive report on Stokes ready before the prosecution even built its case and it was only a matter of connecting the dots. Stokes' web activity, videogame history, IP addresses, tool usage (including Ngrok), Azure status, and more were logged with timestamps, and were provided to the investigators by Microsoft.

Sounds like microslop has dossiers built on all it's customers. Will be an interesting day when it leaks.
