The amount of things that this hacker was able to do to me were unbelievable and if ever I could have PTSD from anything other than war that was it. I still get so fucking scared anytime a password doesn’t work. He was able to root my shit and I still don’t know how he did it. But I had a Samsung and I was able to pull the edge where you can write quick notes, and he had all of this phone information pinned to the notes. MAC address, IMEI, just lists and lists. And then inserted a digital SIM card. What’s crazy is no matter what I showed the people at the phone store they all thought I was just crazy as shit. Like I had just made it up or caused the issue myself, like having a phone half of my life with no issues but all of a sudden I forgot how to use it and all these issues were just happening. So much shit was in Russian they were super users they were just so many crazy things turning off Wi-Fi did not turn off Wi-Fi it made it look like it was off but it still was on. And when I took out the Sim card they inserted a digital one. I went through three phones doing this. Before I had an IT guy come out and look at the router which was just so fucking compromised it was mind blowing we had to get a new one.
And after three androids I finally got an iPhone. But I was ready to just get a throwaway phone and be done with it. My banking information, important phone numbers voicemails, authorizations and callbacks from Medical. There are so many things that we don’t realize we can’t het by with life using without a phone. And then he kept switching my keyboard to the Samsung keyboard and he would move letters around when I typed. It was the craziest thing I’ve ever seen, webpages would randomly refresh and it would be different shit on the page then it was supposed to be.
I remember he put the Yandex browser on and I could not get it off. And then I would have like access to six apps but I had no storage so they were just a ton of apps that were hidden that I couldn’t use. The worst part though honestly was that no one believed me for the longest time. It came down to a moment where it was just so indisputable that finally people had to admit OK somethings not right. As soon as I was able to get people on my side I was able to address it through the phone company and get definitive proof. That’s when I was able to move and have no issues. But it was just crazy how quickly people disregard what you’re saying even though it’s one of the toughest things I’ve ever been through. I would go to take pictures and then he would just blue the camera, anything I took the time to screenshot my phone will restart in the screenshot would be different than what I took. Just small alterations. Webpage names, the browser looks like Google. I knew he had access to my microphone and my camera. He was able to access some of my TV stuff because he downloaded the app because I had a Samsung. But accessibility settings for the biggest thing. I remember when I got my second android after like 20 minutes of it being on, barley even used, that voiceover just turned on randomly and it restarted and then started reading my phones information on a black screen. Like I couldn’t see anything but voiceover was like Sim card number phone number and it was just speak it out loud and I knew he was listening. He got this one app so anytime I went to unlock the phone it would snap a picture of me. It was just so crazy man.
tldr; if you want an interesting read on some of the crazy things I went through there it is, I’m sure there are spelling errors.
—Otherwise my whole life just got turned upside down by this guy, he owned me for like three years.
