Someone is posting fake<br>
reports on various sites, maybe stalking. I don't know the details, but<br>
what I heard didn't sound actionable-by-the-police.<br>
<br>
Our common friend asked me if anything like an "investigator hacker"<br>
existed that could look into these things, trace it back, send take-down<br>
requests, etc.<br>
<br>
I don't particularly want to get involved myself, but I did say it<br>
sounded like a pretty lucrative (although possibly not that effective)<br>
business plan. Has anyone else heard of something like this?<br>
