Who can help me stop someone from repeatedly logging into my accounts from the United States?

[Anonymous]

I need assistance. Someone from the United States keeps logging into several of my accounts, and I don’t know who they are or why they’re doing it. I’ve just secured my email address and changed my password multiple times, hoping this time it will be effective. Who can help me with this recurring issue?

I fear for my safety. I need to constantly check if someone is using my accounts when I’m on the app. I don’t feel safe anymore and fear for my entire existence.

How do you know they're from the US? If you have an IP, you can check it online to see if it's a VPN. If it isn't, you can report it to the law enforcement in that jurisdiction.

Separately, you may need to check to see if your google/apple account is being accesssed by unknown devices. You can kick those devices off, and change your passwords again. Also, you need to change the login to any backup email accounts. The best thing after this is to set up two factor authentication on everything you can, so you have to verify any new login on your phone with an authenticator app. Text or email 2FA is okay too. Not as strong though.

Can you explain how to check this online?

Which website should I use to report this?

Thank you for the advice. It is really helpful

You can go to ipqualityscore and paste the IP address in. It will tell you if it's a proxy or VPN. I can check it for you if you want.

To report it, you would need to know what location the person is in, and look for their website for online reports.

You're welcome. Let me know what else I can answer.

With VPN someone next door to you can still look like they are in the US. If you are changing passwords and someone is still getting in than it is possibly someone close to you who knows or can guess the new password. Do you write passwords down on paper? Stop doing that! And then change passwords.

To keep things simple I use one password with uppercase, numbers and symbols for stuff like GAG and a more secure one for financial institutions. (I also have an insecure signature and a signature I use only for banks)

Use two factor identification. Google supports it. I find it a pain in the ass and if you lose your phone you are scuppered. But having a code sent to your phone will stop someone else getting in. You do need to ensure you have a recovery email you can access without your phone.

I would just delete the accounts outright, stay off the site for a month or so

[Asker]

I checked one account and discovered I had been hacked when I signed back in. I can't understand why someone would do this; it has made me terrified for my safety.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

So delete the accounts and email, give them nothing

[Asker]

But how can I do that?

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

I’m sure you can google the instructions, there’s an FAQ addressing it somewhere

[Asker]

If I knew it I wouldn’t ask it on here

Screenshot me the google results for it
