Many of you don’t know, but around Thanksgiving, my computer got hacked. Not just my Facebook, or social media… MY ENTIRE COMPUTER! I was printing off a gift for one of my partners for Christmas (I make him custom Magic the Gathering Cards) and I notice my computer change to a blue screen that says “Don’t turn off, system updating”. Well, I’m in the middle of trying to print, so I turn off my computer and then turn it on, go into settings and turn off the system update. Start printing again, and the same thing happens… except this time I’m watching my mouse move around the screen… and I’m not touching anything. Weird……. so, I turn off the computer again, and turn back on to try ONCE MORE to print. Same thing happens. I start doing ctrl/alt/delete…. I watch my mouse move to hit cancel. It actually starts fighting me to hit cancel. At this point I know I’ve been hacked… pretty sure I realized it after watching my mouse move the first time, but damn it! I want to print my thing! (I did manage to get everything printed FYI) I turn off the computer and call the local computer shop my hubs used when his computer fried.
Took them over 2 weeks to wipe everything and put up blockers for hackers. My question is… why me!? I’m a stay-at-home mom of twin newborns. I’m a sad excuse of an Indie Author (my books don’t sell). I don’t make or have money! In fact, this cost me a good chunk… and I’m now saving up for a new computer because I can’t fully trust this one anymore. Don’t hackers have better things to do?! Hack someone with money! Like a celeb or politician! Why are you picking on a poor (EMPHASIS ON POOR) author and new mom?!
If my hacker is reading this, or if someone who hacks is reading this… get a life. Seriously… there is too much going on in the world right now for you to be attacking people that are trying to get by. I don’t have time to get on my computer like I used to before giving birth to twins. I’m lucky if I have time to check emails. The only reason I’m even able to write this is because the twins are (finally) napping at the same time. And what should I be doing instead of dealing with Hackers? Cleaning, taking a shower, washing bottles, vacuuming, laundry, picking up toys, folding baby clothes, locating missing pacifiers… the list goes on. So, to the person who hacked me, FUCK YOU. I hope karma shows up and fucks you in the a$$ without lube. You’re a horrible person for hacking me and any other person that is trying to do the best they can every day without having to worry about someone making their life more difficult just because you as a hacker are bored and want to try to steal money.
