If you guys have a antivirus/security app you are paying for, like AVG or similar, contact them and ask if there is any way they can monitor your PC's and phones for hacks. If anyone can identify the hacker, they can.

I'd reformat my PC's HD, setup a very secure password to login to PC. Wipe both phones as well.

I always get a chuckle out of these threads. It's not that it's completely impossible for it to happen, but it's very, very unlikely.

It is actually very easy for this to happen.

I was thinking the same thing Froggie....it's a lot easier than you think. Especially when it involves a loved one. (Or ex)

For random people, yes, it could be hard.

For people you know, it is very easy.

And that's the problem.. In most cases.. Someone's ex won't let go . and someone doesn't really want to move on And change their passwords... I've seen this a few times.. Wipe the system... Reset your passwords... Or be honest to all parties involved...

Conversation for another forum I believe.

This sounds like something that you should not be talking about here – but rather something that you should bring to your local authorities. I have found that sometimes just mentioning the police (or better yet, having the police come to them) is far more effective than any threat that you could provide.
