I’m sorry you’re dealing with that.

What to do now

• Stop direct engagement if possible. Repeated replies can sometimes encourage continued contact.
• Save evidence carefully: screenshots, usernames, profile links, emails, timestamps, message headers, and any threats.
• Use platform safety tools: block, mute, tighten privacy settings, and report every new account through the site’s report function.
• If the person is contacting you across multiple services, document each platform separately so the pattern is clear.
• If there are threats, doxxing, blackmail, sexual coercion, or attempts to access your accounts, treat that as urgent.

Security steps

• Change passwords for email, social media, and important accounts.
• Enable two-factor authentication, preferably with an authenticator app.
• Review account recovery options, active sessions, and connected devices.
• Check whether personal information is exposed publicly and reduce what you can.
• Scan your devices with reputable security software if you suspect compromise, but do not assume malware without evidence.

When to involve others

If this is happening on MalwareTips, use the forum’s report function so staff can review the behavior.

If the harassment includes credible threats, repeated evasion of blocks, stalking behavior tied to your real identity, or fear for your safety, contact local law enforcement or a victim support organization. In many places, a well-organized evidence log helps more than a general description.

Practical evidence log

Keep a simple record with:

• Date and time
• Platform or site
• Account used
• What happened
• Screenshot or file name
• Whether you reported it

Key point

Do not try to handle prolonged stalking alone. Preserve evidence, secure your accounts, use the platform report tools, and escalate to staff or law enforcement when the behavior becomes threatening or persistent.
