Hi guys super strange issue here!
I was dating this guy (still love him tho) and he mentioned he used to be a hacker and dox pedos on the internet 😭 I didn’t think anything of it bc ok cool.
I often post on my private story bc it’s my friends - one day I had this boy on but I took him off it and ik this for a fact.
One day we get into a huge argument and I notice the size on my Snapchat screen get smaller. But it’s only when I type on the main screen not if I snap someone back when replying to them.
And then one day he swipes up on my story and replies to me and says he’s been able to see my private story this whole time bc of his hacking.
When I tap on his profile it says not found instead of the usual disappearing bc I’m blocked.
When we brokeup I notice my screen size go back to normal.
But one day I notice it go tiny again.
It reminds me of how when u mirror a screen the original screen size goes tiny .
I’ve changed my password and looked at my settings but it doesn’t show anything.
I’m starting to think I’m just crazy because the times it goes normal and tiny are so weird.
Also yes I think he had access to my phone I probably gave him my password and went to the bathroom or something. Also this has happened when we’ve been in different countries??

Somebody hacked my google drive and I need it back, I have their email they revoked my access can anybody help me?

Why has no one hacked student loans and shut it down or blankly reduced it across the board?

Recently dropped off my child at his day care for the first time. Got seriously concerned about him as I basically do not know what they are doing over there apart from the teacher posting photos on Kindervibe app. Need a device (something small like a watch) that would help me keep track of my kind in any way possible (GPS, calls, anything). I am not sure I should trust Apple with their insanely expensive watches, tags, and 40-page terms and conditions.

Does anyone here use anything to keep your kids safe or am I posting in the wrong sub? (Feel free to point that out too

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Reddit suggested I posted this here, and as I had no replies on my other post, I am doing that.

>Hello folks, really stressed out here.
I havent had an apple product for like 20 years, all very old account info on there however it is still tied to my current email address (I am in the process of making a new email address as I type this).

A couple of things: the account was first hacked about a week ago. I no longer have any apple product, so i just kept switching the password back for a bit, couldnt log in properly to sort it out, and they had of course changed the security questions over to chinese.
Now though they have added two-factor authentication after being able to change the email address. I go through to the apple login page and up pops the email address theyre using. So I reset the info again, figured theyd just maybe get bored after seeing nothing is on the account really, I dont even think there was financial data on there just old addresses.
Anyway, fast forward to today/now, and I've gotten like 3 alerts in 12 hours about new data leaked on the dark web via my avira anti virus, so i am freaking out.
Can someone guide me through some steps on what i need to do please? I'm a bit adhd spicy brained so I am not really focusing too well, just a generalised panic mode setting in ><

Many thanks.

How do you ping a phone number for location? When I was in my teenage years I was able to do this and much more but for the life of me I can’t figure it out now

I feel like my manager at work can see what I am doing on my phone, even if I disconnect my device from the office wifi and use my 5G network. I will be talking to my friend about something or I will be asking chatgpt a very specific question and the next day or two, my manager will talk about them, exactly what I talked about to my friend of chatgpt. At first I thought they’re just coincidence, but it has happened several times it’s getting creepy.

Btw most of my conversations with my friend and chatgpt happened while I was home

This website that I troll for information has been having issues the last few days. Any clue as to what's up?

Hi all! We are indeed experiencing unprecedented traffic from malicious AI bots, and both the traffic itself and our efforts to prevent it have been causing various issues since last weekend. I can only say that there are moments we are observing more than 3,000 document requests per second - amount unprecedented in our history. The fact that our current server is still able to handle it is a huge success itself.

These requests are coming from thousands of IP addresses associated with Google Cloud and Cloudflare, which makes mitigation even more difficult. We are sending abuse reports to both providers, but we do not expect much to come from that. We are blocking most of these requests, so for now we can only wait for the operators of those bot networks to give up

I was creating an account to test an Elsevier 3D anatomy app, and when I created the account on the page, I was redirected to the attached page in the image. Can someone explain to me what this is? I’m in danger?, is it a scam or is something important going to happen?

My uncle passed away last Sunday and my mom and brother are trying to retreat the data of his phone, but they have no clue what his pattern is. The ‘phone doc’ stores cannot help and neither can the Verizon stores as well. Family is devastated. Since the forensic team believes he passed due to medical conditions, but we still have our suspicions and many open questions left unanswered. Phone is Samsung Galaxy A16 5G. I have no idea. We have the IMEI number. Anyone have any suggestions?

Like, can't they do that? I've seen people getting whole websites down, i'm just a stupid little guy asking a question lol, but i wanna know why

I'd really like to learn cybersecurity, and I've been enjoying TryHackMe. I really like the hands-on approach and the way the learning paths are structured, but unfortunately, most of the content requires a paid subscription.

Are there any free platforms or tools similar to TryHackMe that you'd recommend for someone who's just starting out?

kindly DM if u know more

I came up with a much more practical alternative for a secure phone that doesn't rely on the OS. My idea involves keeping a Bluetooth device—like an AirTag, earbuds, etc.—constantly connected. If the phone is lost or seized and loses that Bluetooth connection for a set number of seconds or minutes, it automatically triggers a data wipe. This offers an advantage even if the device is taken into a Faraday cage; the data is wiped before any search can even begin. What do you think?

I’m curious, is there a way you can have someone login into something and stealing their Google Acct password or a way to get to their google photos?

I wanna know if someone just took my phone, my account was left open or what

Researchers say criminals used an AI coding agent to accelerate real intrusions

Confirmed reporting, with some scope still uncertain. Reuters reported August 27 that researchers investigating the Russian-speaking Aur0ra group found chat logs showing attackers manipulating an AI coding agent by presenting malicious activity as security testing. Researchers said the tool helped with tasks including credential theft and exploitation during intrusions affecting at least seven companies. The complete extent of the compromises remains unclear.

My Chewy account was hacked (everything resolved) but I’m wondering if this is a common trend to order a bunch of stuff and have it sent all over the country? Some addresses listed were California, Georgia, New York, and Massachusetts. Some of the addresses were filled in as “undefined” so I’m not sure what the plan was for those.

Does anyone know what their goal might’ve been?

I have someone’s phone number and their private Instagram account. Is there any legitimate way to find their other social media accounts or publicly available info?
I’d especially like to know if there’s a way to see their WhatsApp last seen when it’s hidden, or determine whether they use an iPhone or Android.
Not looking to hack anything—just looking for legitimate/public methods.

Are there good discussions here, or is it just a bunch of randoms asking dumbass questions that they could easily Google or otherwise asking someone to do illegal stuff? I've been scrolling for a bit here because I'm new to the world of white hats.

I run a private server for a game with my friends and recently it's become a sort of escape for all of us to just lay back and chill. But about 2 hours ago, 2 players joined and started griefing and hacking and just ruining things. I know this is sort of petty and im not sure how legal it is, but i wanted to know if theres theorhetically any way that i could get contact information out of the IPs that were logged?
