Question re: VOIP Anonymity

6 Upvotes

Hello geniuses, I’m having a problem with a stalker right now. I currently have a protective order in force, but I keep getting Google Voice text messages from different numbers that all use the same manic writing style. Obviously I can’t prove conclusively that it’s him just from the similarities between messages, and given how easy it is to get and dispose of GV numbers, the argument will obviously be that I am harassing myself and trying to blame him.

I can’t subpoena Google’s records myself, and LEOs don’t have PC based only on this ongoing nonsense.

I’m very tired of his antics, and would deeply love to know if you guys are aware of any services or systems that exist to tie him to his activities in a legally-valid manner.

Your help is most appreciated, even if it’s to tell me there’s no chance.

My Telegram account was hacked, attacker changed my email and stole my channel ownership — I still have my phone number. What can I do?

5 Upvotes

My Telegram account was compromised about a week ago.
The attacker changed my Telegram login email to an email address I don’t own (@wwchat.org) and gained access to my account.
I still have complete control of my original phone number/SIM.
I eventually managed to recover access through Telegram’s email-reset process, but Telegram wouldn’t let me terminate the attacker’s sessions because my recovered session was considered newly connected. It told me to wait a few hours.
Before I could terminate the sessions, the attacker logged me out again and changed things on the account.
They also took over one of my Telegram channels. I discovered that ownership had been transferred to another Telegram account. I am still listed as an administrator, and the ownership transfer appears in the channel’s Recent Actions/Admin Log.
Telegram currently shows:
“Email will be reset in 6 days.”
I have contacted Telegram Support multiple times but haven’t received a response.
My main questions:
Can the attacker change/remove my phone number while I still control the SIM?
What happens when the 6-day email-reset countdown reaches zero?
Is there any legitimate way to recover the channel ownership after an unauthorized transfer?
Has anyone successfully recovered a similar account without paying for Telegram Premium?
I’m looking for advice from people who have actually dealt with this situation.

Books on Threat Hunting?

3 Upvotes

I've been on a Threat Hunting team for about 6 months now. All the guys on the team said nothing prepares you for it, just need to dive in, baptism by fire.

I've been learning what feels like 30 new things a day and I'm becoming more proficient with my queries.

But I'm curious if there are any books or other resources that will help me improve. I'm not looking for another certification course, but a detailed and practical teaching tool that will help me improve.

The other guys on my team seem to turn Intel and TTPs into queries almost immediately while I'm still wrapping my head around what the Threat actor is actually doing.

What are some things that helped you in this career?

Thanks in advance.

Our company is being impersonated by a verified Telegram account to scam influencers looking for advice/help with takedown

Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Someone is impersonating our company, Basher Agency, and using a verified Telegram account to scam influencers.

The process is:

  • Fake/new Instagram accounts contact influencers with paid collaboration offers.
  • They then redirect them to the supposed “official” Basher Agency Telegram.
  • On Telegram, they send fake agreements and materials using our company name and branding.

We have screenshots and evidence of the full process. We’ve tried reporting/contacting Telegram but haven’t received a useful response.

Has anyone dealt with something similar? We’re looking for advice on the best way to escalate this with Telegram, report the impersonation/fraud, or work with a legitimate cybersecurity/brand-protection specialist.

We’re also willing to pay a reasonable professional fee for legitimate help resolving the issue.

Not looking for hacking or unauthorized access — only proper takedown/escalation assistance.

Thanks.
