​@@elemeno0peeFair enough-- that would indeed be a huge time consuming pain in the ass... That said, if you recall near the end during their "friendly" conversation, the hacker points out that this type of crime exists in a strange area... because it's "too weird for the cops, and too small for the FBI-- as long as you don't SWAT anyone..." So it seems like not swatting the victim, and stopping just short of that, is actually part of the strategy for some of these more clever hackers. (And AFAIK he's generally not wrong, if you know how LEA's work... the cops aren't really equipped, and the feds have much bigger fish to fry.) That's actually pretty smart, tbh. Tho it's a bit of a huge gaping hole in law enforcement... which probably only exists due to the relative rarity of these cases.

I wish the hackers would put their resources together to address all the phone scammers.

The lack of empathy from the hacker is surreal, the guy must have no friends/social life to talk with a victim like that

The only real way to go forward would be through investigative reporters, or a lot of money. Bugging the hell out of the FBI is a bad idea. You could, after filing a police report, go through a court for the investigation/hire someone to investigate it thoroughly. With the contacts he had, he could also have used his handle as a honyepot. But mostly, investigating such things require an enormous amount of work, and the best way to protect himself would have been to contact local pizzerias, have good opsec, and shut down any new avenue used. Getting swatted, as bizarre as it may sound, is the best option, as you will then have much more police/FBI ressources on the case.

A lot of scammers both target, and employ older people. Sweet old grandma forgetting her password is so common and effective as a technique to get your info because its like, oh I have a grandma, and she asked for tech help from me once, and I understand how hard it is at that age to remember things, and I love my own grandma.

cant sleep and saw you just posted this. thanks for all the work u do jack u are great!

Very interesting story. A few points: You could track down the criminal in a few ways (at least in the UK I know the police has access to that). If he made an internet order, then the website if the pizza shop has a log with the IP address of this person. Obviously it could be hidden behind a VPN but usually they use public VPN providers which then in case it's paid would have some form of payment method which might reveal the real person behind it. You can cover your tracks very far, and use for example PayPal registered to a random senseless Gmail which then again leaves you in the dark on how this person pays for the VPN provider. On the other side if the attacker used a SMS texting provider (mostly these services charge) with a police case (and potentially a court order) you'd be able to demand info from the relevant provider. Obviously this company might sell their numbers internationally and the attacker may use a stolen payment method.... It's possible to almost totally cover your tracks by using technologies like VPN and tor combined. But as mentioned by some very senior security expert: "The biggest risk in cyber security is human stupidity since it cannot be patched". Even attackers make mistakes and then eventually get caught. Also I hope you checked on your Gmail that the attacker hasn't created any filters which are set to forward silently emails containing specific words or matching a certain criteria. That's very common practice which hackers do since it provides them access even after you enable to all the security on login. Last but not least there are some very capable private investigators which have GR8 contacts and skills to help you stop such harassment rather then giving in. I hope you get your Instagram handle back soon.....

I'll be *that guy* sorry. It's crazy how obsessed (let's be honest, addicted) people have become with being "connected" 24/7 to the point where someone can saying losing their phone number and or access to their social media accounts is "the worst nightmare anyone can imagine." I understand the overuse of that comment, it's up there with someone telling their story and saying, "I literally just died." Deal with a terminal illness in the family, unexpected death of a loved one, murder, rape, suicide, kidnapping, or military deployment in a combat zone, then you'll have a whole new perspective on "worst nightmares." I understand your comment is an attempt at making a point, but so is mine. Unplug for a minute and touch some grass people. It also helps to not click links in messages from people you don't know and or not click on links in emails from people you don't know. The weak link in this scenario isn't the technology (i.e. SIM) it's the consumer/user of the technology. And lastly, if you're not using multi-factor authentication (MFA/2FA) you're pretty much asking to be "hacked" in some capacity. Most tech companies/suppliers/vendors have "consumer/user safeguards" in place, it's just people don't want to (or won't) use them for whatever reason.

Come on now, this is such a trivial issue to fix. There can't be that many pizzerias in close proximity to the guy's address. You just make a few phonecalls to the major chains and the mom & pop shops and warn them. Ditto for parents/ex wife. If the bell makes you stressed, just disconnect it.

Sim-swapping has happened to many celebrities, professional athletes, and politicians for years. Instagram (Meta) is very good at logging everything that happens on their service. The police can pretty easily checkup on that. However, the issue is that a lot of the time these guys simply don’t slip up. It’s pretty easy to set aside some spare change for a device to harden your opsec when you’re stealing accounts for a living. The other unfortunate reality is that they don’t really get a very harsh penalty even when they are caught. A good portion of the people doing stuff like this for social media accounts are teens and they get off with a slap on the wrist in most cases. Even the sim swappers that steal millions in crypto currency are only getting a couple years. 😕

Something like you don’t really know me or you wouldn’t draw your attention upon yourself like this. I am happy for you to be brave and continue. I get you think you are clever but i can promise you that if thats how you decide to go… you will regret it. I can do so much more than you think you can do. I can cross lines and you won’t have any way to stop what you will have brought upon yourself. Sucks when you target a victim more dangerous than you doesn’t it

I would just bury the handle use a different 2FA method and email, then never access it again... fuck the hacker you can make another IG handle but I'm not gonna give in. Then again harassing is pretty much impossible in my case... I don't give a sh I'm just not gonna answer the intercom and good luck harassing my family...

Personally I would not relinquish it give it to the harasser.

I can ID with this in a way... I "had" a Pixel 4XL with an eSIM... I'm working in Baghdad and my Pixel STB'd... so I had to buy a local phone to have ANYTHING because it takes about 3 weeks to get mail from the US. So, I bought a local phone for cheap and have a local WiFi hotspot... so, now... I have to bring my hotspot with me to function normally with my temp phone. So, not 100% like this, but I understand the "phone" comment.
