Do you know what it’s like to lose all your friends, Get blackballed from your career, become a heroin addict, experience homelessness, get admitted to a psych ward, have your family not invite you to thanksgiving then climb your way out of the gutter? All the while trying to ignore the spyware haunting your devices?

It fucking sucks bro, but I did it. I’m still here. Standing tall. Sounds crazy, because it is.

They picked the wrong dude. Publishing this means I’ve gotten father than any of the other victims. You either live in denial by ignoring it, or it consumes your reality until your living a world of imagination trying to make sense of why this happening to you.

Until a few months ago I couldn’t prove I was infected. Until last week I didn’t have a name for it.

I had a lot of theories. All of them were wrong. I have no problem being wrong.

Before all this I was a systems admin. I thought I was a computer expert. Spyware humbled me. Googling things will get you only so far. With the advent of GPT I found answers, that only lead to more questions.
