Just a heads-up on my recent experience being hacked and finally figuring out how it was done.  On my main email service, there is an email filtering rules setting so any emails that come from certain email addresses, you can set (or anyone that has your password) can set to get redirected to any other address and you will never see them.  Some examples the hacker wanted redirected were any emails that had the carriers' websites in them plus amazon, walmart, visa, mastercard, discovery, plus any warnings that may come from your internet carrier to say your password's been changed or your account has been used by a different computer.  Just make sure if you have any of the notifications turned on for the carrier or store websites to alert you that a package is coming, have a good password protection and have it sent to one of the encrypted emails even.  I knew the program I use to check my email had rules and I would have noticed emails missing right away, but this was at the level of my internet carrier.  I never thought anyone would care to get that password, but apparently that setting is there and I had an old password on it that probably got sold with the rest of my information.  Apparently, I also have a new alias as well I found the other day that I need to investigate.  At least I can blame her on all nefarious activities.  I also have a limited background check service that I mostly use to check myself and found a few aliases recently that were completely different than any name I've ever used [sigh].  Luckily nothing happened except my data skyrocketed, but still stayed under the limit.   I changed my password three times, but these filtering settings stayed in my account and so they kept working until I finally found them and with a grand shout of joy, screenshotted and took them out and you can disable them.  If you have internet carrier X, message me and I will show you how.  The person didn't learn too much because all of my credit card alerts go to my texts (good choice).  Those emails from carriers tell you things have shipped, not always what date it's going to get here or what it is.  And unless hacker was close by my house, how can they get here before the package comes unless they were lucky.  I have pretty apparent cameras and had nothing missing in the months that this went on.  The hacker also filtered to him/herself the "your password changed" alerts from my internet company as well.  Since I've been breached in so many of the bigger breaches you've heard of on the news, I've been offered the free credit/identity theft monitoring and this is the third time they've caught it.  The other 2 have been a few faked credit cards with my info.  So make sure you have alerts on your credit cards, your bank account and that ANY changes get texted to you.  I am greatly sad that I am fairly sure that most were caused by my own republic under God.  The big red store would not have been given the info that was in these hacks.  Some of it didn't exist then.  The third one was a breach of my son's hospital record when he was born so the pirates already have his SS# before he's even used it.  Well, if you can't beat them, catch them early with some of these easy fixes.  If you can't remember all the passwords, put them in a file called something inocuous like "doctor's note," and in Word, you can password protect individual documents and make that a password that is completely different than anything you've ever used before.  I've had an IT expert tell me this is a pretty good way of doing things.  I hope this helps you stay safe.  The phone calls and spam are getting out of control so those are next.

Edited to mention that your employer can and will have access to your work email, your work internet access, your private email, possibly private internet, your Facebook.  If you work in a public place, usually the cameras are apparent, but they don't have to be if they're in a public place.  Bathrooms are usually off limits.  Stay in the bathroom!!

  7. crimp @ crimp: do you live in a dangerous area maybe try moving to the country when you get back on your feet you seem to understant crypto beter then me so youll be on your feet in no time
  8. crimp @ crimp: glad youre good buddy
  9. CalFresh @ CalFresh: Thanks everyone. My family and I are safe ATM. @mellowella thank you, but they cleaned me out. the shelves are empty but I'm hoping to call in some favors to restock ASAP. @xenxra I will reach out to set up a secure comms channel for us. Thanks again all. Yesterday was tough, but the support I've received from those I can share is with has been a Godsend.
  10. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: Mad love to you and your family @CalFresh
  11. xenxra @ xenxra: @CalFresh if you are able to DM me (in a secure manner) the transactions associated with your btc theft, i can look into that part for you at least. i;m still 99% certain if the fbi didn't discard my leads they could have gotten some of my coins back and considering you had your coins stolen within the us, you have a much better chance of recovery than me. unless they went through mixers i could probably trace them myself.
  12. O @ Outsider9173: @CalFresh Haven't been here long but I want to wish you a fast recovery
  13. crimp @ crimp: neck spine surgery 8 ribs broke and scalp split onen about 6 inches
  14. crimp @ crimp: need some help dude im so injured its not even funny dm me for details just need someone willing to help me fust for a week
  15. CnC5 @ CnC5: @CalFresh if theres anything i can do brother lmk!
  16. M @ Mokachin0: @CalFresh email me I may be able to assist
  17. mellowella @ mellowella: I will always remember what you did for me the very first time I donated. I have been waiting to pay that kindness forward.
  18. mellowella @ mellowella: @CalFresh are you and your family safe? You’ve helped me in a pinch and were more than generous, and I’m sure you’ve helped others. How can we help you? Does it help at all if we completely buy out what’s left? Maybe that gives time and funds to restock and rebuild? I don’t want to break any rules here, but please let us know if we can do anything. All on your time of course.
  19. CalFresh @ CalFresh: thanks guys. I'm pulling together what I have left and leaning on the kindness of folks who support me to restock my shelves so that I can keep the lights on. Having my savings drained and my security vanish in an instant is paralyzing and the repercussions will only be realized in the coming days and weeks. for now I'm just trying to stay focused on the immediate priorities for ensuring this doesn't. cause cataclysmic failure to the life I've built for my children and I.
  20. H @ hotdog45: @CalFresh hey man if I can do anything, anything at all to help you get back on your feet let me know. Truly my heart goes out to you. I sent you an email also
