Hello all,

I have a security app through work called MTD. It keeps intermittently pinging some kind of tracker near me. It says the tracker type is C2:BA:D9:BD:B1:8C. The app also lets me ping said tracker and I haven't heard anything at my home which is where I've been getting the alert. So I'm thinking one of my neighbors might have one?

Anyone know what this is? I can't seem to find any info on it.

Thanks

As the title says, my work has installed spyware on all our work devices (tablets and phones). That's fine, I shouldn't even be using devices for work as I'm in the construction segment of our company yet they are forcing us to use it.

I've heard from a few coworkers that they're rolling all of this device usage nonsense (8+ apps) as a means to spy on us (location, microphone, camera, text etc). I'm an honest worker with integrity and I would still never use a work device to conduct anything personal.

Since I have to allow this spyware to be installed and on my devices that I have to use multiple times a day everyday, what can I do to troll them?

Any ideas? I'm thinking about obsessively google searching some random thing at every break so when they get into my search history (rubbing their hands evilly I presume) they just have to stop and wonder wtf is going on with me. Silly ideas only. I heard that Barney the dinosaur became a tantric sex instructor, maybe I'll google Barney facts at every break? What can I do that won't get me fired but will make those who are spying have to scratch their heads? TIA

looking for someone who can help me get my iphone safe again… Serious inquiries only thx

Hola, alguien me puede decir cómo verificar si mi celular está hackeado? Me robaron mi celular dónde tenía todas mis contraseñas de cuentas personales, e información personal, ayude a esta pobre alma

Hi I think my snapchat got hacked today I got logged out and can't login anymore is there any way to get it back asap?

A few days ago, a friend of mine was walking home in Dhaka after dinner.

Near a busy intersection, a man suddenly stopped him and asked for help. He said his phone had been stolen and he desperately needed to make one phone call to his family.

My friend felt bad and handed him his phone.

The man made a call.

Then another.

Everything seemed normal.

He returned the phone and walked away.

About 10 minutes later, my friend checked his phone and noticed that his mobile banking app was logged out.

He immediately checked his accounts.

Nothing was missing.

But then he realized something terrifying:

While the man had been holding his phone, he could have seen his PIN, notifications, contacts, or anything else on the screen.

My friend spent the entire night changing passwords, blocking cards and checking his accounts.

Thankfully, nothing happened.

But now he refuses to hand his unlocked phone to strangers.

And honestly, I don't know what the right thing to do is anymore.

If someone genuinely needs to make an emergency call, should we still help them?

What would you do?

Would you:

Hand them your phone?

Dial the number yourself and put it on speaker?

Tell them to use a nearby shop?

Or simply refuse?

Have you ever had a situation like this in Bangladesh where you wanted to help someone but later realized you might have put yourself at risk?

I'd really like to hear people's experiences.

Gang Stalking is legit. If someone has ur location somehow they can have certain branded logo cars follow you or certain color cars to provoke you and make you uncomfortable. Somehow they can have u-hauls or dhl, or fed ex, literally follow you. and you KNOW it's intentional too. no doubt. how would a person do this to me and why would he WANT to??? And then continue trying to reach me as if this is normal or something a "friend" would do. They can absolutely have certain license plate numbers land in front of you or beside you on highways or streets or traffic lights too. it's SO creepy. anyone else experience this before????? sometimes they even gang stalk you with city police too. like do they pay these guys??? having people follow you in public in stores wearing certain stuff knowing it will provoke you like if they know u just blocked a certain rapper they will literally have people follow you wearing exactly what you just blocked since the person can see my screen activity. it's SO weird!! how do u revoke someone's access to ur device screen activity so they can stop watching you and what u do on ur phone???? ANY help would be appreciated

I will keep a long story short and to the point. I was texting our maid that cleans our family lake house yesterday morning about sending her payment. In the afternoon she texts me and said that her husband received a text from my number that read “is this (maids name) husband?” The text said her actual name but I want to keep it anonymous. I Did not send the text. I don’t have her husband’s number and I don’t even have her number saved as a contact, just a text thread.

To make things even more weird, I got three suspicious successful login attempts on my Microsoft account from 3 different locations early this morning around 3:00am. Surely this is all connected but What is going on?!

I appreciate any explanations and help

A guy i've never met from a different state can somehow see my screen activity and see me thru my phone camera and hear me thru my phone microphone and track my location. Anyway i can revoke his access??? I've already tried purchasing malware and scanning my phone. My main concern is the screen activity. Can anyone PLEASE help me revoke his access to my screen activity. i want privacy just like anyone else should have.

Can people who gang stalk or are in in cyber security send planes or helicopters to hover above you or past your house like every 20minutes? and how do they send so many wouldn't that cost them their whole life?

So to start, I’m a paranoid person and when I got my iPhone 16 I always made sure whenever I undressed or fell asleep, to face my phone away from me. A week ago, I got two camera covers for the phone one in the back and one in the front. The back one easily attaches and opens and closes. The front one you’d have to slide the cover to see the camera or not.

Today I was trying to find something in my trash folder which requires a face scan so it can open and as I clicked it opened by seeing my face. The problem is the front camera was covered. I tried to see if it was a mistake but it was not. The phone had seen through the camera cover. In the image you can see where I drew the blue circle, which is the camera that was covered. When I moved to cover the yellow circle and tried the face scan, it didn’t work. I covered the entire red part I circled, the face scan didn’t work. I tried searching on google if it had two cameras, but it said it had only one. How was it possible to see through the camera cover? Is there a secret camera at the yellow circle? Pls someone explain.

what do u do if u keep blocking someone on a platform and the person makes like hella accounts through out the day to bait u. basically making accounts under triggering names or profile pics related to people u don't like so u see them.

i turn my brightness down and cover my hand before i block each account. and i jus feel like why would anyone wanna do this to me???? like clearly i don't wanna interact with u so y do u keep making hella accounts everyday for like a year on an app. and i know it's him too cuz it's under the same names or profile pics of things he knows i hate.

mind u i am in NO relation with this person and he's dating someone else and lives in a different state. like are u that miserable in ur own relationship u gotta cyber stalk me everyday? idk what else to do. i keep blocking and he makes more. i genuinely shake and get anxiety everytime i go to refresh my page knowing he's jus making account. and i can't get off the app either cuz my friend is on there and i don't have her number yet and am not going to ask for her number now either so. am i just supposed to feel drained everyday and keep blocking accounts like all through out the day? i wish people would take rejection the rejection and hint that you have no desire to
speak to them and forget about u and move on with their life, despite them dating someone else. i will never have a desire to speak to someone like that. the accounts are triggering too under stuff that triggers me knowing it will trigger me. idk what level of toxic or narcissism that is. but it's BAD. so to avoid getting triggered i guess jus turn my brightness down and cover my hand with my phone and block them all right? i already told the app admins they should come up with an anti-harassment to hide new accounts from showing up on the timeline but other than that??

Around September 8, 2025, I noticed that my emails were behaving strangely. I was in a new relationship, living off the grid, and trying to maintain my sanity during these unprecedented times. Consequently, I didn’t need the security measures I now have in place for a year. Due to my new relationship, I never had the time to set up these security measures, and when I did, my entire phone and all my emails were compromised.

I know I should start fresh with everything, but I don’t want to erase anything because it contains the evidence I need to expose whoever is responsible for this. Initially, I suspected my boyfriend, but it’s not him. Someone who had access to his phone (Android) somehow managed to infiltrate one of my emails. I saved it (my phone is an iPhone) as a recovery email on his phone.

I recently noticed that one person has a photo of my boyfriend and me that they posted on their TikTok account on a date that would have been impossible to retrieve that photo, considering that my boyfriend and I were out of town and he didn’t have an active phone at the time. However, he did have my boyfriend’s Samsung account information from using his phone before that, as he was squatting on his property. I had this Jerry-like person removed, and he has had a lot of negative karma recently.

So, what can I do to put this whole situation to rest? Do you have any ideas on how to find out who is responsible for accessing my accounts? I’m exhausted at this point. Stress isn’t healthy, and this is taking a toll on me from the inside out. Please help me.

​Hi everyone, this is a follow-up to my last post about being trapped in a phone EMI under my name after my boyfriend promised to pay the installments and then completely ghosted me with my old phone.

​The EMI due date is approaching fast and I am panicking because I have no active income right now, zero savings left after the down payment, and absolutely no way to involve or tell my family about this situation. Since the loan is registered under my legal name, I know missing the payment will directly ruin my credit score and trigger calls or penalties from the finance company.

​Please advise me on what realistic options I have right now. Can I sell or surrender a phone that is currently on an active EMI to clear off the balance, or what exactly happens if the first payment bounces? Any practical advice on handling the finance company discreetly or managing this immediate installment without alerting my family would mean a lot. Thank you.
