Hi All So I was at Standing Rock and besides getting brutalized, arrested and charged with a felony, I believe my devices were hacked. I don't know if anyone remembers that I couldn't connect to google for a long, long time until I found a weird entry in an obscure file. I deleted the entry and google came back. My lap top has named itself someone else besides me on 2 occasions when linking via bluetooth to my phone. I had a facebook acct., still do, that changed its name from "brianokeefe" to "brian.okeefe.379". I opened a new acct., "okeefecybermesa" and all is well there. When I try to change settings on the weirdly named one I can't and only the settings for my newer acct. show up. Thing is I have pix, etc. on the weird acct. that I wanted to keep but now....? It turned out to be known that the FBI and TigerSwan hacked almost all of us and I used my cell as a hotspot quite a bit along with thousands of others. Is there anyone who has the know-how to clean all of this up? Find the little cyber crappers, etc. and smoke 'em? Oh the stories I could tell...... Thanx!! --
Brian, How about a new hard drive and fresh install. Put the hacked drive aside for recovery of files. Of course this won't change that mac # of your laptop. So maybe a second laptop for use while you take some control of online accounts. I'm not the best one to sort out all the implications, I hope somebody can help. Thank you, Ted P.

Wow Brian, sorry to hear of your troubles. I hope someone responds who can tackle this. It would be a great learning experience for me, I believe. I would really like to know how to fend off this intrusion and recover. Let me know. Regards, Satsangat On Tue, Feb 6, 2018 at 6:24 PM, Ted Pomeroy <ted.pome@gmail.com> wrote:

Yeah, it turned out to be pervasive up there. Probably govmt. funded technology too! Thanks Satsangat Brian On 02/07/2018 06:49 PM, Satsangat Khalsa wrote:
