I’m being repeatedly harassed online and I’m trying to figure out what can actually be established technically.
I have extensive evidence documenting the harassment — well over 100 pages at this point — including account activity, screenshots, changes in usernames, and other information that may help establish a connection between the accounts involved.
The situation has gone beyond me personally. My family has also been targeted, which is honestly what has made me increasingly paranoid and concerned about my safety and privacy.
I have already gone to the authorities. The Fiscalía told me that I could try to obtain the IP address on my own, and that if I am able to obtain it through a legitimate method, they would accept it as valid evidence for my case. So I’m trying to understand what options actually exist.
The problem is that I don’t have much of a budget to hire a private investigator or expensive cybersecurity services. I’m not looking for anyone to hack an account or do anything illegal. I’m specifically looking for someone knowledgeable in OSINT, digital forensics, cybersecurity, or incident investigation who can tell me:
Is there a legitimate way to identify or obtain an IP associated with these accounts?
What kind of evidence would actually be useful for establishing a connection between the person behind the accounts and the harassment?
Are there affordable/free forensic or OSINT methods I can use to preserve and analyze the evidence I already have?
Is there anything I should specifically document before the accounts or usernames change again?
I know an IP address alone does not necessarily prove who was behind an account, and I’m not expecting it to magically solve everything. I’m just trying to find a legitimate technical lead that I can take back to Fiscalía.
I’m honestly pretty overwhelmed by this at this point. The fact that my family has also been involved has made me much more anxious and paranoid about what this person might know about us.
If anyone here has experience with OSINT, digital forensics, online harassment investigations, or evidence preservation, I would genuinely appreciate any advice on where to start — especially if there are options that don’t require a large budget.
I can provide more details about the evidence and timeline if needed, while keeping identifying information private.
