THIS IS SERIOUS

[rbrnmw]

Someone has hacked my account I would not ask anyone here for their personal information if you get a request for personal info do not give it. I have contacted LE and the person or persons will be tracked if they use my old email account.

This game the stalker is playing terrified my kids nobody gets by with that shit. I have a gun and I won't hesitate to use it if they come near me or my family

1. Glad you reported it and I hope to hell they are found out.

I was once told "No one can hide on the internet anymore"

to you rbrnmw

[PJMcK]

2. Good luck, rbrnmw (n/t)

[Cooley Hurd]

3. Did you report it to the Admins and also change your DU password?

[rbrnmw]

4. Yes and no

He hacked my personal email I used to sign up on DU with

[Texasgal]

5. I thought he was a she?

[rbrnmw]

6. Because he used my personal info to stalk people

It has been shown to the police. He also contacted my kids

[msanthrope]

7. I see what you did there. nt

[rbrnmw]

34. you will see how wrong you are I only posted one op in a while

about a friend dying I am not sending pm's

[MicaelS]

8. You go..

And take this fucker down.

[Glassunion]

9. WHY ARE WE YELLING!!?!

[boston bean]

11. why are you concerned about it?

[Glassunion]

13. I don't know the back story.

[boston bean]

10. I received a PM from your account asking me for my personal email.

[sheshe2]

15. ...

Yup.

[boston bean]

16. it was sunday, very early morning, just after midnight or so.

[rbrnmw]

18. It wasn't me and I can't find it in my sent mail

I'm sorry I am trying to get this person caught

[MineralMan]

12. Is someone posting on DU with your screen name?

Is that what you mean?

[rbrnmw]

14. Sending messages alerting posts reading MIRT

[MineralMan]

17. Have you changed your password here?

Contact the admins by email right away, and change passwords on all other accounts right away. If the person has you email logon, contact the provider to alert them, too. It is serious, indeed.

[rbrnmw]

19. The police are taking care of this

[MineralMan]

20. OK. Good.

[Egnever]

29. doubtful

The police don't have the resources to track this sort of thing.

[rbrnmw]

31. we have someone here who does mostly tracking cyber crime

they may find him

[Egnever]

32. I hope they do

It would depend a lot on how carefull this person is. It is pretty trivial to hide your origins on the internet though so I wouldn't count on it.

I am glad they actually have someone who is trying but from the sudden explosion of these incidents here I am betting a group found a target that is easy to mess with and they are enjoying the hell out of the reaction.

It can be disturbing but the best reaction is to ignore it. They are looking to get a rise out of people. If they don't get it they move on to more responsive targets.

21. Same thing happened to my grandma

Someone hacked her account!

[rbrnmw]

22. Well He better hope he isn't using my Google account

If he's smart he will stop now

[uppityperson]

23. So these 2 pms weren't from you? It seemed odd, I hope you were hacked.

Saturday
rbrnmw
Had a laptop crash and I'm temporarily locked out of most of my accounts

Is there an email I should use to contact you off site in case of emergency

Robin


-------
I replied with an off email, not my real one because you need more of a relationship to get that.

Then another pm in reply
-----------

Shouldn't be too long until I get it recovered
Thanks

[rbrnmw]

24. it absolutely was not me

thank you I will let the police read that

[herding cats]

25. Could you please alert those DU mails to the admin?

Same for anyone else here who received any such emails. It may help them with narrowing down the IP, which should help the LE in an investigation. I'm sure they're using a proxy, but LE has ways around such, depending on the charges.


Unless their home isn't in the US, (which I highly doubt) we may manage to get rid a nasty little bit of troll work for 2-10 years.

[uppityperson]

26. I already alerted both to Admin. I hope others do also.

[sheshe2]

27. I alerted Admin.

[herding cats]

28. Thank you for that.

I should have realized you already had. You're smart, and know how to manage situations like this.

I alerted to the admin in MIRT about the situation as well.

[rbrnmw]

30. thank you I am sure they will see it wasn't my usual IP address

[rbrnmw]

35. naw this one is in the USA

[cwydro]

36. Is this the same stalker that another poster had an OP about earlier?

How did they get your email address?

[randome]

37. What, you're going to put a bullet into the Internet?

[cwydro]

38. Yeah, that gun threat kinda made me titter too.

Gotta love DU.

[linuxman]

39. Try not to shoot the computer.
