Stalking & Account Access Statistics: The Hidden Numbers You Need to Know
Cyberstalking is now the default—not the exception
74% of stalking victims report account compromises or unauthorized logins in 2024–2025 (U.S. DOJ NVPS).
Stalkers, intimate-partner abusers, and disgruntled coworkers rarely need sophisticated malware. They weaponize password reuse, device access, and knowledge of your security prompts. That reality shows up in law enforcement data, domestic-violence hotlines, and civil protective-order filings. Understanding the numbers helps you document suspicious behavior quickly—before the activity escalates or gets deleted.

Common Indicators in Account Exports
- Unfamiliar devices verifying two-factor codes or logging in overnight.
- Repeated password resets triggered from IP addresses near the suspect.
- Downloads of entire account archives initiated without your knowledge.
- Location pings on Google Maps, Find My, or Microsoft account history that you never initiated.
These patterns live inside JSON files such as Takeout/My Activity/Google/MyActivity.json or Apple’s accountUsage.csv. ForensAI parses them automatically and flags anomalies so you no longer need to sift through raw logs.
Documenting Evidence the Right Way
- Export immediately. Download current Google, Apple, Facebook, Instagram, Microsoft, Dropbox, Snapchat, TikTok & X data to lock in a timestamped snapshot.
- Scan locally with ForensAI. Our on-device AI highlights suspicious logins, device changes, IP anomalies, and export/download events.
- Capture context. Add notes inside ForensAI to connect events with real-world incidents (e.g., “harassing texts started same day”).
- Share selectively. You control the PDF exports—share with advocates, attorneys, or law enforcement without giving away your entire account.
When to Escalate to Professionals
While ForensAI covers most account-based evidence, involve a licensed examiner when:
- Devices may have spyware requiring hardware analysis.
- You anticipate contested court testimony.
- Employment or corporate policies demand third-party handling.
ForensAI delivers the same first-pass triage firms perform so you can respond faster, regain control of your accounts, and decide whether to involve investigators.
Support Resources
If you are in immediate danger, contact emergency services. For ongoing safety planning and digital security support:
- National Domestic Violence Hotline (U.S.)
- NNEDV Technology Safety Plan
- National Center for Victims of Crime
- Local law enforcement cyber units or digital forensics task forces
