Thank you, it's quite scary and stressful. They actually did get in my Facebook account and tagged a bunch of my friends on a weird post I deleted as soon as I saw it (but none of my friends bothered to message/ask me about it despite commenting on it as being a weird post for me to make? I didn't log in to FB all day to see it because I was busy trying to figure out what was going on with my Amazon and eBay accounts.) Every time I think I've got everything locked down with a new password I get an email about another account they're trying to get into. I'm not the type of person to fall for phishing emails/scams or download/torrent from shady sites, so I can't help but be struck by the weirdness of it - and the weird timing with everything else going on.

Yes, it's ruthless. I'd be very surprised if it weren't connected to Reddit, compromised Reddit employees, or whatever puppet master has their hand up the butt of the whole thing (sorry for the image). If they find one thread of an online identifier they can pull to cause disruption and distress, they'll pull it.

One of the accounts they tried to get into was one of my reddit ids, though not the one I'd used on GC and LGBDTT.
