I’m having a guy threaten to hack and give away my personal info up for sale if I break up with him. What can I do to safely get out of this situation?

He is from another country overseas, and I'm in the States. Thus, I can't as easily just call up the local authorities on him for harassment. I have seen his ability, and he is someone who can deliver on his threats. What can I do to get him out of my life?

    Can you be a bit more specific about how you met this guy? Was it on facebook or a chat room, etc.?

    The most hilarious way to deal with someone threatening to hack you: Expose him. Save all of his nasty messages and log your chat sessions, then leak them all over the internet! Only leak on sites like facebook if he already knows you have one. ANYONE can LEGALLY get your personal information off facebook. All you need to do is go to a site like spokeo where they use web crawlers to look up people’s sign up info. If you used your real address and phone number when you signed up for social media, it doesn’t matter if you set it to private. Anyone can still see it if they know where to look and are willing to pay a few bucks.

    Take screen caps of his messages by pressing the “prnt scrn” key. After you press this key you can paste the picture from your clip board anywhere. You can start by pasting it onto a word processor and saving it. Save as many screen caps as you can with evidence that he threatened you. Go on forums and talk about him with your evidence. Report his username and say you have evidence that he threatened to hack you. On most websites, that sort of threat would get his ass booted whether he was serious about it or not.

    Delete any online accounts that he knows about, then make new ones. If he does leak your personal information, big deal. He’s a dumbass with no life. Just expose him for what he is and move on. Also, if he asks for pictures of you, don’t give them to him either. Try not to chat with him again. If you do, make sure you collect more evidence.

    If I were you I would call your local Crisis line in your area to get help on where to go so you can be safe. That is one option. Another is to go to a library or somewhere safe & look up info on places to go for domestic violence on one of the many search engines and get out of the house. These places have Counselors that will help you figure out what your next move should be so you can stay safe.
    You don’t have to put up with his behavior. Also call the local authorities file a complaint so that his threats against you are on record. But one step at a time. First call the local Crisis line. You can find it on the internet.
    Good luck
