Christina Elizabeth Bankston (born 1980) is an American nurse practitioner and criminal who was arrested for cyberstalking and hacking ** American reality television personality and entrepreneur Kris Jenner, along with Jenner's assistants and other members of her family.

Early Life

Bankston was born in Newark, New Jersey.

Following the completion of her nursing degree, she moved to the San Francisco Bay Area to work as a nurse's assistant.

Criminal History

Over a six-month period starting in 2015, Bankston began anonymously harassing and stalking Kris Jenner, Caitlyn Jenner, two unnamed Jenner children and two of Kris Jenner's assistants.

She would call them excessively and send them thousands of text messages and emails across a wide range of electronic platforms.

In addition to a GPS device claimed to have been placed under Kris Jenner's car, emails and texts allegedly contained a hidden tracking tool to identify her victims' real-time locations.

Bankston's correspondence with her victims consisted of threats of violence, extortion and 'SWAT-ing', a practice where a SWAT team is falsely called to a residence under the pretense of a hostage situation in order to cause severe emotional distress to confused residents who were not aware of the call.

Bankston occasionally carried out her threats, such as when she falsely alerted law enforcement of an impending massacre at Kris Jenner's residence in Calabasas, California.

Bankston also hacked into her victims' personal email and social media accounts, which allowed her to impersonate Kris Jenner and receive sensitive communications from another family member.

Bankston threatened to go public with the information.

It is believed that Bankston may have been the hacker featured on the reality show *Keeping Up With The Kardashians * in the episode where Jenner discovers that her iCloud account had been hacked.

After a months-long investigation, the FBI – Federal Bureau of Investigation arrested Bankston on August 18, 2016 in Northern California.

Bankston is facing a 15-count indictment for multiple charges of stalking, computer hacking, extortion by threat and aggravated identity theft.

She could serve up to five years of federal prison for one cyberstalking or computer hacking charge alone, and a mandatory consecutive two-year sentence for a single aggravated identity theft charge.

The U.S.

Attorney General's office for the Central District of California is overseeing Bankston's case.
