S60 PT #4: Identity Theft
|
Talls
Registered Senior Member Senji Seteki awoke to mass amount of notifications on his phone. One from his "Discover" app, around 20 text messages, and a mass amount of twitter mentions. He was unsure what was happening, so he started investigating what was determined to be a strange charge on his credit card of $3000 from "The Sex Palace". Extremely concerned, he locked out his card immediately to prevent further damage. Next, Seteki saw a ton of text messages from family and friends asking him is what was said on Twitter was true.
Seteki responded to his text messages, saying that he was clearly hacked and whatever happened was not of his doing. Upon checking his Twitter, it became obvious he needed to change his password immediately. Someone who looked similar but not identical to Seteki had multiple pictures and videos of "Seteki" advertising for "The Sex Palace". He was showing of a large selection of sex toys and interesting products. Obviously, Seteki will have a long day ahead of him.
A police report was opened eventually, the culprit was tracked back to a northern Russian city, essentially out of reach of the law. Seteki's publicist and lawyer worked to remedy the situation and Seteki went forward changing all of his passwords over to a password manager, like his friends suggested. This will not be happening again... hopefully.
