Of course I made many mistakes when I was trying to secure my network and get someone to listen to me. More than anything I wanted someone to belive me that these things were happening to me every single day. It was a frustrating, awful, lonely exsistence. I tried so hard to get my communications secure for my kids and I, and I ended up failing at every turn. Ugh, it hurts to remember. Here are a few of my fatal flaws and lessons learned.
1. Hire a computer technician who has quality referenes and specializes in Network Security.
2. Document everything with screen shots and back up all data to an external drive daily.
3. Change passwords weekly and keep a journal that not only documents the passwords but how you are feeling and what you are doing to try to rectify the situation.
4. When placing reports to police make them look at your evidence, keep calling until you get someone who will look at what you have. Do not give up and think that it is going to go away, Be strong.

Email Vs. USPS mail...
Once I knew that my email accounts had been compromised the first thought that went through my head was "This is illegal right? I know it is illegal to open someone elses mail from their mailbox."
I was given a hazy answer on the legality and punishments for email tampering. There is a law that is supposed to protect us from email tamperng, but there is no one to enforce this law. There also is a hazy line about who the email actually belongs to, which makes judges less likely to enforce a punishment.
I was horrifited by these facts. I remember some guy from the midwest going to jail back in the early 1980's for openng his neighbors mail. I remembrer kids going to Juvie for taking baseball bats to mail boxes. The kids still are punished for this type of behavior.
There is not one article out there that has conviced me that it is worse to baseball bat the neighbors mailbox than it is to read and intercept my personal email's. No one wwrites letters anymore, so how can the Federal Government claim to protect our right of communication if they are not going
to prosecute the individuals who tamper with our email's?
l am not swayed to thinking that it is ok for someone to read and intercept my email. In my opinioin,it is far worse than the baseball bat to the post box at the end of the driveway.
Under Federal Law 18 USC Section 1702. This statute is part of Chapter 83 of Title 18 of the federal code,
Under this statute it is only illegal to open mail addressed to someone else if you have taken it from the custody of the Postal Service. That means it is a crime to take a letter, package, postcard, or other item of mail from a Post Office, a mailbox of any kind, or from a postal carrier before the mail has been delivered, if you intend to prevent the mail from being delivered, pry into it, embezzle money, or destroy the mail. The statute is essentially about stealing mail from the Post Office.
