A:
Tampering with someone's emails, stalking, harassment, and unauthorized access to online accounts are typically illegal activities that may violate both state and federal laws, including laws related to cybercrime and privacy. If you believe that your emails have been locked, you are being stalked, harassed, or experiencing unauthorized access to your accounts, it is crucial to take the following steps:
Contact Law Enforcement: Report the stalking, harassment, and any unauthorized access to your online accounts to your local law enforcement agency. Provide them with as much evidence as possible, including any records or proof of these activities.
Change Passwords and Enable Two-Factor Authentication: Secure your online accounts by changing passwords, enabling two-factor authentication where available, and regularly monitoring your accounts for any suspicious activity.
Document Everything: Keep detailed records of incidents, including dates, times, locations, and descriptions of what occurred. Document any evidence, such as messages, emails, or online interactions.
Seek Legal Help: Consult with an attorney who specializes in cybercrime and privacy issues. They can provide guidance on potential legal actions you can take, such as obtaining restraining orders or pursuing civil litigation against those responsible.
Protect Your Physical Security: If you believe your house is being broken into or your personal property is being tampered with, report these incidents to the police immediately and take steps to secure your physical safety.
Preserve Evidence: Ensure that you preserve any evidence related to these incidents, as it may be essential for any potential legal proceedings.
Consulting with an attorney who can assess the specifics of your situation is essential to understanding your legal rights and options.
