Strictly Stalking

Is your partner tracking you without your knowledge?
In this episode of lovelustlaw, family law attorney and host Michele Locke sits down with cybersecurity and reputation-management expert Alan W. Silberberg of DigiJaks to explore the growing intersection of technology, privacy, and modern relationships. From digital stalking and spyware to online harassment and reputation attacks, Alan explains how everyday devices, including AirPods, smartphones, smart cars, and connected home technology, can be used to monitor, track, or gather information about unsuspecting individuals. The conversation examines common surveillance tactics, including malicious links, shared account access, Bluetooth and NFC-based threats, and deceptive techniques such as "evil twin" Wi-Fi networks. Michele and Alan also discuss practical steps listeners can take to protect themselves, including strengthening privacy settings, reviewing app permissions, disabling unused device features, and enabling two-factor authentication. Beyond personal security, they explore the challenges law enforcement and courts face when handling technology-driven cases, the rise of malware marketplaces and organized cybercrime, and the increasing role of AI in shaping online information and reputation.
Key topics covered:
Cyberstalking and digital surveillance
AirTags, AirPods, and "Find My" tracking concerns
Spyware, phishing links, and account compromise
Bluetooth, NFC, and proximity-based threats
Evil twin Wi-Fi networks and cybercriminal tactics
Smart cars, connected devices, and privacy risks
Digital forensics and reputation management
Law enforcement and courtroom challenges in cyber cases

Dr. Jessica Taylor has spent years helping survivors understand abuse, coercive control, and stalking. Then she found herself living it. What started as online harassment grew into a relentless campaign of stalking and surveillance. People she had never met seemed to know intimate details about her life, her family, and her movements. As the harassment escalated, a whistleblower came forward with evidence that exposed just how closely she had been watched. Today, Jessica shares her experience surviving online stalking, the impact it had on her life, and how it led her to write Click. Stalk. Destroy.

Dr. Christine Cocchiola is a social worker, professor, researcher, and internationally recognized advocate on coercive control and abuse. But even Christine didn't realize she was being stalked. Her ex always seemed to know where she was, who she was with, and even details about her finances. Whenever she questioned it, she was told she was imagining things. After leaving the relationship, Christine discovered her phone had been hacked, her car had been tracked, and she had been monitored for years. Today, Christine shares how stalking and surveillance were hidden behind years of gaslighting—and how she finally uncovered the truth.

SK never imagined that a former co-worker's interest in her would spiral into years of stalking and harassment. What started as unwanted attention grew into thousands of messages, videos, and online posts, leaving her constantly on edge and afraid of what might happen next. Now, after an arrest was finally made, SK is sharing the emotional toll of prolonged stalking, the fear of never knowing when it will end, and what it's like trying to get help while feeling like the system moves too slowly.
