Accounts are now actively hijacked. Like, people are getting into them, they're sabotaging them, they're, you know, changing passwords and... vandalizing accounts. You know, my kids' Roblox accounts were hijacked and stolen and they changed the passwords and tried to lock us out.

And I'm just, at this point now, not only am I trying to make my way through the list, but I'm trying to recover things as they're being taken. I'm trying to actively block people who are trying to get into things. And it's just non-stop.

And then I start getting messages from press. The media is starting to reach out to me. You know, people are messaging me on LinkedIn and saying, why did you hack your employer? Because you can trust something that a hacker says on their website as they dox that person.

So a week goes by. Again, I'm fending people off still. People are just actively, day and night, nonstop trying to get into things. I'm still having panic attacks every time my phone makes a sound. You know, like, you get the notifications as people are trying to get in. Like, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.

You know, I'm like, okay, maybe I should see if I can start doing a little bit of work again. And I get this call, and it's from a Disney area code. So I pick it up, and, you know, they introduce themselves from, like, Disney HR, and they're like, how are you doing, Dutch? And I go, well, you know, I'm surviving.

And they go, well, the reason we called, you know, is during the investigation of your computer, we discovered that you had accessed pornographic content. And I'm like, I'm completely at a loss. I'm thinking, well, I guess they must have called the wrong person. And I'm like, no, I'm the one that was hacked. And they go, well, we determined that this has nothing to do with that.
