On May 6th, Sierk's computer was hacked by someone in Omni Commons who
accessed his computer when he left it unattended. They took over his
Facebook account, replacing it with a "Dillinger - Public Enemy No1" logo
and sent direct messages to me, and to another person at Omni who was
hacked in the same way a few weeks earlier.
They also took over Sierk's Google account including his telephone number,
and created a Signal account with his number, and communicated to me from
all those accounts claiming to be Sierk.
I finally talked with Sierk in person (on May 7th) and confirmed that none
of the accounts were in his control, and he had no way of getting back
control of his Google account. Last night he asked me (in person) to tell
people at the Omni that they should disregard messages appearing to come
from him (including over SMS/text messaging), which are now asking for
money.
*Sierk says that people should ONLY trust in-person communications with him
for the time being. *He can often be found at Omni, working on his
computer upstairs.
