[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 58943, post: 830457"] People underestimate the danger in security, cybersecurity, counter-intel, and other fields. There are people actively searching you out, and you don't have to be famous, you just have to cause enough trouble for enough people, or the right people, and you are in their cross hairs. A few guys I know in the field have had serious levels of harassment, and some pretty advanced technology utilized to harass them. Most of us are ghosts now as a result of this and I would suggest that anyone with even a remote chance of making the wrong government, corporation or cartel angry take some precautions. I'm a ghost because it's a necessity at this point, and Fabian clearly needs to become a ghost. Some guys at Dr. Web got firebombed if I recall. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/09/30/rusky_antivirus_company_fire_bombed_for_research_blogs/[/URL] A few guys I know, including Mr. Koret has run into big trouble, same with Michael Wood. Folks at some pretty big cybersecurity labs had what most would deem 'extreme' levels of hacking, harassment and at times physical intimidation. I know one guy that moved to an isolated home in the Philippines to escape some serious threats and was given an early retirement to do it by the security firm he worked for. [/QUOTE]
