10 - 09 - 2023 Hello and good afternoon. Please allow me , a proper introduction of myself , and a complete overview of the scene and territory. My Real name , is Jacob Ryan Thompson. I am a both proud and free german-irish american who knows the difference between right and wrong very well. I am also highly intellectual , and occasionally overassertive , do not let this be misinterpreted , as I am only critical in ways , for the benifit of proper business interests. I have a astounding breadth of expertise in I.T. , C.I.S. , Cryptograpgy , Block-chain , AI , etc. I do , hold numerous certifications. - I recently helped the NSA pilot their new CyberSecurity Workforce Program , --- After this. If this is of question , please check my resume , as the ones phishing me must have not. -I am in fact , the real deal. Lets get that straight first of all. I will try and make this as short and simple as possible. When it comes to technology , cybersecurity , and national security interests , I am an absolute shark by nature. and I only say that because , naturally , I can find bigger problems , quicker than others. - I am not here to seek personal benefit , I am here because of one reason alone. I can "smell quite a lot of blood in the water " - so to speak , and I feel it is of my responsibility to inform Schultz Technology properly of this matter. - I even run my own business , but what I absolutely do NOT allow , is some real possible harm being done to another tech business in my country. - After this report , I will be open to discuss some simple and easy application layer remediation measures , as this is a technology company , I would hope there will after be some level of useful consideration of implementation. - However ,this is entirely not the focus of this discussion, the focus now is on the report itself. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- First , As a Cybersecurity Specialist, I want to make just a few other simple things clear, - I am attesting the following information in the rest of this email to be bound to be truthful by law. *** - I am willing and fully able at any time , to testify in court if needed ,about these matters, this is a real report.- *** * - - - - - - - - - - * - This type of behavior , indicates that of a much larger group or faculty operating these types of procedures. - As in, this is only the one I happen to know about. There could be more. - Upon all of this , There is information I have been given for another account and routing number in california , which would be condusive to this reasoning. - This type of behavior should be treated as an economic attack on the business , - I was trying to process a check , with fifth third bank , which is my bank , coming from a supposed Bank of America. *** --- I was admittidly ,was partially successfully phished. - which should also be fully treated as an econimic attack on the business. --- The most stunning thing I can tell you , all in all is that well , in this particular methodology , I have seen this done before. I had drove to the FBI station to make the report after I was told too , and was instructed to make an online report. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ========================================================================================================= Hello , My name is Jacob R. Thompson , today is 10/16/2023 ,4:08pm and I am clear of my state and mind, I was contacted via my " mostly private" but newly created email , techsport1024@protonmail.com , on oct , 5th , 2023 through on or about the 9th of october that year, for a supposed job offer. Those emails have been forwarded to lauren g , who I believe is the correct recipient at Schultz techonologies. *** - p.derby@schultz-technology.com here is a clip , ------------------------------------- ------- Original Message ------- On Thursday, October 5th, 2023 at 11:17 AM, Pat Derby wrote: Job Title: Software Engineer Location: 100% Remote Job Type: Full time Pay : $90 Per Hour This is Pat at Schultz Technology Solutions, Pottstown, PA .

Okay I see , thank you very much for the pre made order here , it seems they want a n direct wire transfer for the payment , which will be fine , I will set that up as soon as possible. and I will be sure to send them my address in that email provided as well it seems. I will get ready and go down to my bank shortly , it is within walking distance. You, Thu 9:19 AM Here is the receipt you requested , as well as I will be working on the rest of the ordering as soon as possible . You, Sat 5:15 PM Hello David , I just wanted to drop an update as I had to go ask my bank about the timeframe , and they gave me some news about it taking five days to deposit. They had told me it would be available Wednesday. Either way , I will update you as soon as I have the order out. =============== ============================-========================================================== AAAAnnnd thats it really. I will be sending an attatched copy of the front and back checks , that were printed out - in my name - from schultz technology for some $4,800.00 , as well as the information that is also very interesting on where this order should go to , this " Accreddited Vendor" , this man speaks of" - As of now , I am very interested myself , personally , to find out just how accredited this vendor is , and speak with them face to face about this accredation, and reflect on how I want to handle that. As well as how we all should. I will be attatching all of their crap , along with a check , again in my name , from some fake and fraudulent business account behiond all of this ...... *** And a key security point we must all reflect on , is just how large this operation seems to be.... and how that might effect ALL OF US , in the future. As these issues are not going away, I am only saying I have seen this before , and so has my bank. and learn to mediate against an OP of that size , if not just for our own business's , but other business's should be asking as well , how to prevent this? - This is something that every business should have some level of protection against for their own sake , I am just saying. - As a product , as a educational measure , something. Because you guys wouldn't have known anything had I not been a pro who was phished. Thats all , let me know if you need any help with anything else or anything else comes to mind. Sincerely , Jacob T.
