I’m sorry but I felt like posting this even though Im not sure if Im completely anonymous. There was a person who somehow stalked all of my online profiles, especially the ones which I create on my phone for the longest time. I have no advanced knowledge in hacking but I know he surely has my phone number and I’ve seen suspicious log ins in my accounts, the google play account especially.

After I already did a factory reset and it didn’t seem to change the story at all (he kept on coming back and commenting on my facebook posts from numerous fake profiles) I decided to uninstall all possible bloatware on my phone using ashell app. I removed samsung cloud as well as a suspicious app called “FactoryAPP” which still makes me wonder if its an official app or maybe not. I also need to mention I needed to reset my windows 10 pc some time ago because I found hacktools installed.

Now the thing which bothers me the most is that this psycho guy (whom I probably met before) may still be there stalking me without me being capable to find out. I hate to think that each time I post I need to be careful and just think twice before sharing personal stuff because he may be gossiping behind my back. I feel pissed and I can’t do anything about it.

    i would get a cheapo pre-paid smart phone and use the data to reset ALL your passwords, with actually good and unique passwords, as well as force logout any other logins if possible. don’t connect it to your home wifi etc. then look up how to do a clean factory reset of your various devices, including your router. set your shit to private also.

    it sounds like a mix of paranoia and technological ignorance. you might not need to go absolutely ham on all your devices but it sounds like you aren’t even sure where or how this started, so i would personally suggest that just to get it all over and done with so you can go back to normal.

    Someone finding you online doesn’t mean you’re being hacked.

    They could notice your name, be following your friends to get back to you.

    People need to stop believing what hacking looks like on TV shows lmao
