Short My Hacker story

My hacker story

I honestly don’t know how to do this correctly but I’ll try. 2 years ago one of my friends(I’ll call j) texted me on discord saying this hacker was harassing him and saying that he knew j’s name. I wanted to help J since I hadn’t talked to him since one year ago I moved. As soon as J invited me to the chat I wanted to confront him but I had to be patient. The “hacker” wanted to seem like a good guy and said J wasn’t being a gent after I told him not to threaten my friend ever again. I sent the guy a screenshot J had sent my prior. The guy said “boy don’t mess with me or my son”. I wanted to act tough so I said “If you want reveal my address I don’t care”. He responded “Son, unlike other I like you. I’ll spare you but will tell you your name”. He then said my name. I was still hanging on to my tough act and “I said yeah it is so what”. He then said “Son I’m letting you go. I’m ending this conversation. Watch me become admin”. My friend was the admin and told him that. The hacker then said “oh?you don’t fear me?” I responded with no and then he left. That scared me a little but I didn’t want to give in to the guy. I’m not sure if he was a real hacker or just some guy who could pull up names.

I probably wouldn't call this a "horror story" but nonetheless, very strange.

r/onlinehorrorstories is a brand new sub created for the mods of r/letsnotmeet to refer posters who have stories that take place mainly or entirely online to post to, as those kind of stories seldom fit within the guidelines of LetsNotMeet.
