How To Spot Cyberstalking In Your Divorce

Off the Fence with Karen Covy: Mastering Decision Making, Divorce & More

What if your ex could secretly listen to your private conversations, track your every move, and even manipulate evidence against you — all without being anywhere near you? It’s called cyberstalking, and it’s happening in divorce cases more and more.

Steven Bradley, a former FBI cybercrime investigator and Amazon bestselling author, reveals how technology is being weaponized in divorce and domestic violence cases.

In this podcast episode, Steven explodes common myths about cyberstalking, including the myth that perpetrators need to be tech experts in order to cyberstalk you. According to Steven, anyone who has basic computer skills and is willing to invest $7 for a computer program can install spyware that clones a phone and will allow your ex to read your texts, listen to you through your phone’s microphone, activate cameras, and track your location in real-time.

The conversation takes an even more chilling turn when Steven discusses deep fake technology and AI manipulation.

If you’ve ever had the feeling that your ex is watching you, or somehow knows exactly what you’re going to do BEFORE you do it, you may not be imagining anything. You may be being cyberstalked.

Check out this whole podcast episode to discover more – AND learn how you can protect yourself.
