   Belfort BITCH Debra S. Alascio selling Digiwx AWOS sued   
      
   Baltimore-based Belfort Instruments suing fired worker   
      
   A Baltimore manufacturer of weather instruments is suing a fired   
   employee it claims is on an anonymous Internet rampage. Belfort   
   Instrument says Debra S. Alascio has been harassing current Belfort   
   employees via e-mail, calling the company's customers and partners   
   alleging unethical business practices, and posting trade secrets on   
   the Internet. Defendant Alascio has an alarming history of engaging   
   in such 'anonymous' Internet attacks against those who she believes   
   may have slighted her (including past employers), and, absent a TRO,   
   will continue her historical pattern of making outrageous and harmful   
   attacks against the material business interests of Belfort Instrument,   
   reads Belfort's complaint, filed earlier this month in Baltimore   
   County Circuit Court. Belfort, which obtained a temporary restraining   
   order against Alascio on Nov. 15, is suing her for misappropriating   
   trade secrets, breach of contract, defamation and tortious   
   interference with contractual relations. The company is seeking $1   
   million. After consulting with his client, Belfort attorney Douglas W.   
   Desmarais declined to speak about the case. My client's position is   
   that this is a dispute that they have chosen to resolve through legal   
   channels, and they're going to let it play out through legal channels,   
   Desmarais said. Alascio could not be located for comment; her phone   
   number is unlisted and a reverse search of her Baltimore, MD address   
   produced no results. According to the complaint, when Alascio started   
   working for Belfort in 2001, she signed a contract promising that, if   
   he left the company, for two years afterward she would not say   
   negative things about it; if she did, he would face court action. She   
   is also bound by the Maryland Uniform Trade Secrets Act not to divulge   
   privileged information, Belfort says. Alascio was fired on Oct. 20 of   
   this year and then started to harass her ex-boyfriend, still a   
   Belfort employee, via e- mail, the suit reads. She also allegedly e-   
   mailed the company's general mailbox anonymously, promising to fight   
   back against the company and drive it out of business. The company   
   also claims she called their customers and made untrue allegations.   
   Alascio also used an Internet newsgroup to criticize the Belfort   
   product she had been in charge of marketing, the DigiWx AWOS digital   
   weather transmitter, calling it Digi$H*T, Belfort claims. She also   
   allegedly listed which of Belfort's customers were using DigiWx. The   
   motion does not state how Belfort knows that Alascio is behind the   
   anonymous e-mails, phone calls and Internet postings, but a letter   
   from Desmarais to Alascio warns that Belfort can easily trace the   
   communications to Alascio. Belfort also claims that Alascio has a   
   history of using pseudonyms to criticize whoever has offended [her] on   
   a particular day. Indeed, a search of Google's newsgroups shows lots   
   of chatter about Alascio, including several posts purporting to   
   unmask her as the anonymous source of negative comments about   
   Baltimore.
