Hi,
A woman has presented me with her problem, but I don't know what
to tell her. Do any of you know how Cable TV can be hacked
into? (names and places altered for confidentiality) Her
ex-husband Y* is an ex-computer programer on disability.
Here is her story:
"Tonight I was watching an old movie on Cable TV when the
incidents happened.
"I received a message at the bottom of my TV screen that Y* and
Z* ere planning a road trip "for you" to Montana, and that it
was best to travel long distances in clean cars so as to be more
comfortable. Y* is the name of my ex-husband, and Z* is the
name of his wife. That popped up from the bottom of my
television screen on a black background with an advertisement
for Duporh Inn, and it smushed up the picture of the show I was
watching in an annoying and noticeable way. I was recently
pricing Duporh Inn rooms in Kansas City for my oldest son,
A*'s graduation on Goplaces.com. Y*, ex-husband, has often
chided me about not keeping my car clean enough.
"I also received a seperate message that talc powder was good to
use while spinning wool and mohair, and that was on a Dodge
screen that smushed up the picture at the bottom.
"I do spin, and I raise sheep and angora goats - producers of
wool and mohair. Yesterday or the day before, I had a
conversation with H*, my husband, in our bathroom, of all
places, about the relationship between talc powder and ovarian
and breast cancer - and the conversation was a rather
....personal one. I ordered make-up a few days ago from a natural
ingredients company online - which is how the conversation of
talc and asbestos came up to begin with. I also own a Dodge
Caravan, and sometimes visit the Dodge website to look at van specs.
"Now, I don't know how these messages got onto the bottom of my
cable TV screen while only I happened to be watching TV. How
they relate to the computer is also vague, but I'm pretty sure
some of the information came from my computer activity. There
were more than two messages."
Any help appreciated,
Jon
