I note that that name is somewhat confusing for me. I mostly still have it because of inhibitions I experience around intentionally selecting a handle other than my legal name. When you observe me yammering about this, think of me as somebody who is able to talk about it just a little at all, amidst thousands of other people who are victims, and are not talking about it. it was mostly in portland, maine. but the total list of states was roughly: - texas - illinois or somewhere like that - west virginia - maine - vermont - massachusetts - nevada - california - oregon this was partly online, and partly digital. digital things make it much easier to cross state lines. digitally, it was mostly related to facebook, but also involved: - google search + google voice - device compromise running disparate OS's (chromeos, linux, android ...) - phone calls with dell support (i was told purportedly by dell on the phone i had a "special" bios that was "supposed" to boot over the network rather than my hard drive) - mail + databases (my truck was in repair for over a year because the manufacturer kept sending the wrong replacement transmission; i found a notice left in my mailbox by accident to collect my mail for review; my cancer surgery lasted ten hours because the lab computers kept saying more remained; gene sequencing then showed it had been diagnosed as the wrong kind of tumor; the lab analysis was missing pages at the end) I'm getting better at remembering these things, but it's still mostly a void of fear containing sparse paranoid factoids than a reasonable report, I'm afraid.
