  Why My Digital History Is Triggering Active Hacking Attempts on Anyone I Interact With (The Cost of Pirated Software) Since 2011, I had a habit of digital hoarding - collecting and testing cracked games and expensive enterprise software (AutoCAD, Autodesk, Ansys, Adobe) just to see them run. In college and later in my professional life, I freely distributed these terabytes of pirated software to friends and colleagues, completely unaware of the massive digital footprint and security liabilities I was creating. By signing into these cracked builds with my personal email, my credentials were leaked to respective servers and weaponized through data breaches, allowing bad actors to tie my email, unique username handles, phone number, and social media profiles together. The real-world consequences started falling like dominoes. In 2017, a friend’s startup was targeted with Google account hacks and an Autodesk audit after their residential IP address registered as a business entity using cracked software from me. When I joined the rocket startup AgniKul Cosmos in 2019, I distributed these software packages again. The fallout was severe: the entire team began receiving targeted, unknown messages on LinkedIn and WhatsApp phishing calls; our Wi-Fi became unusable unless restarted; and our founder's email was compromised to spam the team, forcing me to wipe and reinstall every office machine. I later found out the startup faced massive licensing fines after audit visits. Even after moving to a spacecraft design startup, the exact same disruptive patterns followed. The targeting escalated heavily during the 2020 lockdown. After noticing a suspicious Microsoft account login alert that perfectly correlated with an Argentinian "ethical hacker" visiting my Premium LinkedIn profile, I confronted him directly via InMail. That very night, a coordinated wave of login alerts hit my Reddit, PayPal, and other social media services. Because I use a consistent username across platforms like Twitter/X and LinkedIn, these actors have mapped my entire network. They’ve tracked my investor interactions, used malicious links in bio pages to harvest my home IP addresses (forcing me to rely on a VPN to restore normal speeds), and targeted my family members. Because of this relentless surveillance, I keep my current venture strictly in stealth mode and refuse to update my employer details on LinkedIn to shield my current team. This is a public apology and a massive heads-up. Recently, this targeting has shifted outward to anyone I publicly engage with. Whomever I interact with, reply to, or tag on Twitter/X is immediately seeing a surge in suspicious login alerts and hacking attempts on their own accounts. If you are interacting with me publicly, please enable robust 2FA, monitor your active login sessions, avoid clicking any random links, and stay highly vigilant. My past digital hoarding has turned into an active security vector, and I am sharing this so you can protect your data before they target you next.

  @GretchenPSmith @PayPal @AskPayPal I hear You Ms. Gretchen, in 2008, PayPal employees in Accounting, stole my money, after I paid a $12.00 invoice for selling a car. They sold my info, and 2 places got all of my money out of my account. I luckily had a sister working for AT&T and I had references & Numbers on the transactions they used, and found them. I call FBI, but I was able to get every penny of my money back by 4:30 PM that day. FBI asked me how I did that, I refused to tell them, methods they can't legally use. But ever since I Refuse to Use PayPal! I was so mad at Mr. Elon for selling, I had no issues while he was there. I am praying for you & the Veterans to Get The Money You raised for them! That is Horrible!!!! GOD BLESS YOU & YOURS!!

  @FedericoBa71889 @MarcoFoster_ @KyleKulinski So he didn't create it, he funded it with generational wealth earned from his parents who are in mining. But even then: Outside of America PayPal was never that popular. Tesla makes terrible vehicles and electric vehicles are worse for the environment currently.

  I should also mention because they asked for more back than what they sent, I’m still $5 negative and can’t close my account bc of that, but also am restricted so I cannot put money in my account to fix the negative balance?? What sense does this make PayPal?

  It only took one thousand years but I hope that Throne still keeps the same level of protections even with PayPal now being involved. Last thing we need is parasocial homies getting upset that they didn’t get down your pants for a gift they sent & then dispute it 😔

  It’s the same default setup most people use for email, banking, PayPal, cloud accounts, and recovery codes. Phone number equals “prove it’s you.” That’s the problem.

  @NoLimitGains PayPal’s stock is at the same price it was in 2016. Revenue is up 207%. Profit is up 271%. Everyone reads that and assumes the stock is cheap. The market is saying something different. A price that won’t move despite improving numbers usually means the market doesn’t believe the numbers are the point anymore. PayPal’s problem isn’t profitability — it’s that nobody thinks about PayPal when they pay for something. Apple Pay, Zelle, Venmo. The business got bigger while the brand got quieter. Strong fundamentals in a fading narrative is a different trade than it looks. #Stocks #Markets

  PayPal will gradually shut down its venture capital arm, PayPal Ventures, and is considering selling some of its investment positions through the secondary market. PayPal is shutting down its 10-year-old corporate venture capital arm, PayPal Ventures. It is understood that

  @Ciel2114 @dianadiana3587 That one was for content creation. It takes forever to be able to access any funds. That said, my paypal and email are fine. No issues on either. And not so sure why anyone would have found a problem. Maybe typos 🪶🥰

  @wholemars Yes. PayPal when Elon was running it did the exact same thing. Their savings rate was way higher than you could get anywhere else. The idea is for you to put *all* your money into X and get rid of your bank altogether. If enough people do this, network effects take over and most transfers are from X to X, bypassing the ridiculously high fee credit card network, or slow ACH network. X becomes a behemoth fintech company. Fun fact: Current Wells Fargo savings accounts give you a 0.01% interest rate … vs 6% on X 🥴

  I find the Elon hate so funny. People can’t compliment his work without the disclaimer “I don’t like him BUT…” Relax. The guy made $180M from PayPal and put THE WHOLE thing back into building the next thing. He made all of Tesla’s electric vehicle patents public allowing for competition. And his SpaceX IPO has made 4,400 employees millionaires who otherwise wouldn’t be. So if you’re angry about him becoming the world’s first trillionaire because ‘nobody should be that rich’ or you don’t like his opinions… Remember he’s probably working harder than most of us today not relaxing on a yacht somewhere. And if everyone shared the same opinions the world would be seriously dull. Let’s take the lessons and learn from his success instead of putting him down to make ourselves look good. You can learn from him without liking him or agreeing with him. I think it’s probably smart to do so.

  @RightScopee Not in a minute. They money will be spent to save way more than a 1000 livelihoods! Look at the vision, the success and transparancy and the facts of what this man is truly about and why the extra zeros matter. Elon could drop a million dollars at my feet and walk away and I am the poor MF that would chase him down to give it back and ask WTF just out of curiousity. Obviously I am an Elon fan and have been since his PayPAl days.
