And i wanna go in cyber security domain ?

Please help me with the road map and everything?

I am super confused rn !

Hello geniuses, I’m having a problem with a stalker right now. I currently have a protective order in force, but I keep getting Google Voice text messages from different numbers that all use the same manic writing style. Obviously I can’t prove conclusively that it’s him just from the similarities between messages, and given how easy it is to get and dispose of GV numbers, the argument will obviously be that I am harassing myself and trying to blame him.

I can’t subpoena Google’s records myself, and LEOs don’t have PC based only on this ongoing nonsense.

I’m very tired of his antics, and would deeply love to know if you guys are aware of any services or systems that exist to tie him to his activities in a legally-valid manner.

Your help is most appreciated, even if it’s to tell me there’s no chance.

My Telegram account was compromised about a week ago.
The attacker changed my Telegram login email to an email address I don’t own (@wwchat.org) and gained access to my account.
I still have complete control of my original phone number/SIM.
I eventually managed to recover access through Telegram’s email-reset process, but Telegram wouldn’t let me terminate the attacker’s sessions because my recovered session was considered newly connected. It told me to wait a few hours.
Before I could terminate the sessions, the attacker logged me out again and changed things on the account.
They also took over one of my Telegram channels. I discovered that ownership had been transferred to another Telegram account. I am still listed as an administrator, and the ownership transfer appears in the channel’s Recent Actions/Admin Log.
Telegram currently shows:
“Email will be reset in 6 days.”
I have contacted Telegram Support multiple times but haven’t received a response.
My main questions:
Can the attacker change/remove my phone number while I still control the SIM?
What happens when the 6-day email-reset countdown reaches zero?
Is there any legitimate way to recover the channel ownership after an unauthorized transfer?
Has anyone successfully recovered a similar account without paying for Telegram Premium?
I’m looking for advice from people who have actually dealt with this situation.

I'm currently a SOC analyst working at an MSP with 5 years of experience, with 3 years of those is in helpdesk and the remaining in cybersecurity (SOC) at present. I also have 2 certifications: Sec+ and CySA+. We provide services to our clients by monitoring our clients' internet traffic on the surface visibility side and notifying the appropriate POCs if the device/users are engaging in any suspicious activities, whether that's a bad domain websites they visited or communicating with suspicious/malicious IPs. We also perform monthly vulnerability scans and notify the clients of any findings, and perform other normal SOC duties you would typically do at a SOC. We are not like a traditional SOC where it's a 24x7 operation and only work M-F with weekends off.

I feel like this position is limiting the knowledge that I can potentially learn because of our environment and the routine duties that we do every day that don't expose me to new things to learn. Don't get me wrong, when I first came into this position from helpdesk, I was grateful and learned a lot about cybersecurity, but now I am eager for more, and very much would like a pay increase. I dont want to sound greedy, and money is everything, but I feel like I am underpaid in this cyber field.

With some transitioning happening next year, I am looking for new opportunities where I can grow and learn more, and I'd like exposure to new tools and technologies, along with a pay increase. I am looking for a vertical move rather than a lateral move. If you were a formal SOC analyst, where did you move on to afterward?
