Did anyone else notice that if you install Fidelity app it is tightly integrated into messaging app- such that if you wanted to uninstall “messaging” on iOS it first suggests you uninstall Fidelity app? I find this odd given I have had a major major incident with a team that must have some level of access to a lot of platforms including messaging. It is not going to surprise me if they have Infosys doing the monitoring and the person spearheading all of this pain is a guy there who thought I reported another guy for harassment in 2013 (I had not). The mobile platform and app stalking has been intensely impactful. I have to do a lot of hypothesizing, as so little transparency is offered to who is accessing your usage.

Check iOS-settings-messaging-iMessage Apps. What is this?


This data is already "re-identified" by some somebodies. And complete intent to harm over a course of 5 years proven out. I have evidence, lots of it. The individuals initially affected by the search leak need to be notified by a representative of AOL and probably SOE. Time to stop the dark patterns of attribution games and ready the individuals for what is to come. If I had been caught alone, I probably would have not made it through the harassment that came from the people that have re-identified the data.


Have three identities confirmed - yet the individuals doing the harassment all know best evidence has to come from law enforcement and the logs - not my screenshots. It's part of the game they play with the data.


My data is in this list someone used for "research". They evidently correlated with Sony Everquest Chats, LinkedIn, Twitter, AOL, corporate email, Meta, Amazon Purchases, Natural Language Processing Data collections, some DFIR (digital forensics) data collection, HR records and so much more. I would say at the time they collected the info I was planning renaissance fest attire, studying security topics and frantically figuring out identities of some gamers who dogpiled on me as a few made genuine threats towards my life and livelihood.

I'd say yes, throw disinformation at at, as once I started noticing someone was really doing that level of tracking I did throw disinfo at it... a lot. The problem was with their interpretations from there of searches intentionally made to mess them up - as I neither had consent yet realized I was being stalked.

That went on and on and on - until people died - my father thought I was swatting him (I had a welfare check made - not a swat - as they were disclosing his financial advisor and info - he's white and safe presumably) . Yet yes, people did die. It is evident no one understands it is never just them in research or in a channel for conversations. The result of the whole thing was my childhood best friend also being left homeless and run over (by someone opportunistic in the whole process). My brother de-housed by a gang member a party kept sending about (one actually poisoned my dog). My father alienated. My sister used as a puppet for extortion instead of being rehabbed.

It's very very very ugly the string of deaths and alienation that came from what they thought was funny research into AI.

This old data needs to be located and disposed of or put into proper custodianship. It's grown teeth that cost lives. Throwing misinfo at it is just crapping up the Internet more to push to web 3.0, where the same problem will thrive. Requires legislation. Not quite relaxed enough to articulate how and what right now due to the extensive harassment that came about from it all. Maybe some day. It's been pretty terrorizing.


I'm trying to learn more about what disinformation is, could you please post your thoughts under the following Ask HN post?

Put this comment up in every church and every retirement community. I haven’t searched, yet suspect this is the most common elderly fraud besides relatives manipulating them for their estate.


That is an old trick from companies exposed to a great deal of liability to cover the legal and administrative costs of perfection.


It's fine for them to cover the costs. They just have to include all the price (except sales tax in the USA for some reason) in the price tag just like every other company. You don't go to McDonalds, order some food that says $5, and then pay $5 for the food, $3.99 for being allowed to eat it, and $0.99 for processing the transaction.


To the dealership’s credit, McDonald’s is probably not selling you a McDLT on credit and they probably don’t have to file a UCC-1.


Yet!


Some of these comments are funny. I am sure there are plenty of mistakes made by plenty of competent people as I read the next article about Boeing. Good to analyze root cause ….to a point. Some of you hate brave women, who probably would all be classed as reckless and less trained in much but cooking/laundry in that era, and it shows.

Now clean up the mud from the reckless 4 wheeling you did before lunch.


You don’t care about incompetent but good people such as Earhart being essentially murdered by a society pushing them to take on a task they’re not properly equipped to do because of PR wins and advertising.

Didn’t the US Navy kill a woman who wasn’t ready to solo jet flying back in the 80s by pushing her to take on the task before she had passed the simulations so they could beat the US Air Force to have the first solo woman jet pilot.

Look at a picture of her face and think of her family she was killed by people like you who don’t think logically and only care for how things make them feel


I am defined as a logical processor in an assessment somewhere. Your activism towards me hasn’t been working since launched by a disinformation actor precisely December 2019. Would be great if someone can tell me where the forum is.

Interesting info about root cause, culture and errors though. Also I might care.


Wut.


Really good write up


Very very few companies do. At least they were honest in this case. Not a fan, they were positioned to be leaders not laggers in solutioning.


Distance is the only solution I know of when the malice is significant and it is at an all time high right now in the USA.



Once you have lived through reporting to a telco you have been dealing with fraud - you learn the procedures are in a scripted loop, everywhere. The answer will probably be go to store get new sim and never reach conclusion it was swapped for people who do not investigate their situation. I haven’t dealt with sim swapping yet some pretty heinous organized crime now and the folks are nice yet you will never walk away knowing the cause or source of an incident.
