Or somebody listed enough names that he hoped somebody would have a cucumber in the fridge. Its not all that specific considering how many names are listed. If it was one name and there really was a cucumber in the fridge it would highly alarming. That looks more like somebody was taking a scattershot hoping for a hit.

Dude those are all of my alt accounts. He somehow knew that as wel...

They know all your names plus got your phone number? What was the incoming info? Is it blacked out on your screenshot? Crazy stuff man, I'd be nervous too.

I get random calls all day and night from random numbers, and if I pick up, nobody is there.

And, I've gone through 3 phone chargers in the last month because they keep "dying" even though they are brand new chargers. My battery life on my phone seems as if it's being suppressed. '

Spyware running in the background can cause that I think because it is sending data if the phone has been tampered with. Not sure if that sort of software can be installed remotely or if they need physical access to the phone.

call your phone co. to complain about the battery life and ask if your phone has been hacked or messed with, tell them you have a possible stalker. they should be about to tell you if you've been messed with.

When did the random calls start? Anything actionable to deliver to the cops on that? How is the battery life suppressed?

I'm guessing it's a reddit admin or someone being fed info from admins to work on their behalf.

Who else would have access to a list of accounts logged or created from the same IP?

Bingo. Reddit has been taken over. Have we not suspected Alefantis here on vote as well. I imagine he can pretty much do what he wants at Reddit. Possibly here too, who knows. I am not very good at this tech stuff, but I think I know JA pretty well after researching a lot on here. He is a strange and evil character, so he could be doing this to really scare him or just for a lark. Yes he is that sick. @djklbd Do not treat this lightly. Think Ryan.

I know, but if I back out i'll never forgive myself.

Can you confirm all of those are reddit accounts? If so then of course it could have been any admin there. IIRC any office level worker can check all alts on an IP, this has been an issue before. Do you use a VPN? It's also possible your laptop mic was hacked and they heard you talking on the phone to someone about having no food in the fridge except the cucumber. Do you recall having a conversation like that? Do you tape over your mic?

First off thanks for being helpful,

Do you use a VPN?

No, I do not. I'm actually pretty technologically retarded (regarding the IT and computer realm), but I'm aware of it's purpose. To scramble your IP address to another location.

It's also possible your laptop mic was hacked and they heard you talking on the phone to someone about having no food in the fridge except the cucumber. Do you recall having a conversation like that? Do you tape over your mic?

I thought about this too. Maybe they heard me talking about groceries or have been able to analyze a receipt of things I purchased. I am a poor college student so I only buy like 20$ worth of produce/food at a time, wouldn't be TOO difficult for them to do this.

Regardless, I'm still stunned at the accuracy of his statement...It baffles me honestly.

The mic is usually a pinhole on the side of the laptop. Check the specs online. A few years ago there was another mass exodus from reddit because they announced a new policy of keeping IP's of posters for much longer than previously. If you don't use a VPN then it's a cinch for them to gather your many id's. Now if one of those ID's is not from Reddit, then it might be worrisome. I would contact a lawyer (I know, poor student. Try the EFF or a law school, legal aid) have them send a letter to reddit. Try to find out what happened. You feel threatened by it and rghtfully so, if a rogue employee is using IP info to harass or threaten a user then there should be consequences.

There are many tutorials online on how to remotely access someone's camera or mic, check it out. Search remote administration tool (RAT) it's been a thing with kids for many years.

I think you should make a police report, maybe even FBI. Take at least that step to fight back. Don't be too paranoid right now, but also protect yourself and be wary of strangers. Good luck man, and tape up that mic.

Thanks, Im on it.

Get protection. Put locks on windows and a dead bolt lock on your door. Not those new fangled things. The old SCHLAGE are the best. Got this from a really good cop. He is to be trusted. Also you can call the Oat Keepers if things get really scary. Tell this to as many people as you can. The more that know, the best your security. Keep in touch here daily and let us know how you are.

djklbd ago

Thank you.

carmencita ago

I mean it, keep in touch :)

Don't back out

Yes, to be able to know all of my alternative accounts means that they have an insider or an admin, or the intelligence agencies are just able to hack my phone and watch me as i scroll through alt accounts.

The fridge thing is another story. I didnt tape the front side of my phone camera, so maybe he saw a peek while i had it in my hand and opened the fridge?

Honestly the break in seems plausible more now...
