text: recently i was dating someone who works for the nsa and he hacked into my yahoo/internet. is that legal? this person abused the knowledge he has of the internet and computers - his training.  he obviously has emotional issues as he felt he had to spy on me and my child, as my son uses the pc as well.  my computer was acting odd, as was my internet and my yahoo messenger.  i suspected he was hacking into my pc, and then he admitted it.  he accused me of things that did not occur, so i am not sure just what his motivation was.  however, it does make me very uncomfortable that this is a person whom we trust to watch over our safety and he chooses to abuse and stalk the private sector in his spare time.  there are hearings going on right now about the possibilities of this exact personal abuse transpiring by members of the nsa to the public.  i can tell you it does occur.  i cannot believe this is legal or just.  it certainly is terrifying as i use my pc for personal finances, etc.  now i no longer feel secure in my own home.  how can i defend my privacy and my rights? it's not legal.  he was snooping in your account for personal reasons, not professional ones.  report him to the nsa.  they'll definitely want to know one of their employees is a security risk like this.  i don't know exactly who you should talk to so contact public and media affairs at 301-688-6524 or send e-mail to nsapao@nsa.gov and ask generally where you would report misconduct of an employee.  it goes without saying that you should cease all contact with this person.  if he continues to harass you, get a restraining order.
