A podcaster known as Heidi Love reveals she has been subjected to a coordinated, multi-week cyberattack that has locked her out of every digital account, including her phone, email, Patreon, and social media. The breach, described as 'level four' in cybersecurity severity, involved cloning her phone number, hacking her family's devices—including her children's and elderly mother's—disrupting her ability to communicate, access finances, and even receive emergency calls. Despite being targeted during in-person meetings and after sharing her phone number with others, she insists the attack is too sophisticated for a lone 'crazy fan' and points to FBI and police involvement. She suspects someone within her personal or podcasting community with deep technical knowledge, but rules out the LDS Church due to their operational integrity. Amid emotional distress and financial strain, she vows not to quit her show, even if forced to go private or monetize content. Her message is a defiant call to protect free expression, expose digital vulnerability, and support victims of cyberstalking—especially those with vulnerable family members. She ends with a tribute to Sandra Tanner, a historical figure who fought institutional power without surrendering her voice.
Cyberattacks can escalate to physical-level disruption, including blocking emergency calls and hijacking family members' devices.
A 'level four' cyber breach involving phone cloning, router compromise, and persistent network access indicates a highly skilled attacker, not a random fan.
Podcasters and public figures should assume their devices are hackable—even brand-new iPhones—and use Ethernet, strong routers, and password hygiene.
If your digital life is under siege, seek help through law enforcement victim programs that offer cyber safety, device checks, and secure relocation.
Never assume a religious institution is behind a targeted attack—especially if they lack incentive, resources, or operational history to act this way.

The Digital Siege Begins
“They've shut down my phone. They've cloned my phone number. And this all happened after I did a few in-person meetings. So that's never going to happen again, ever.”
The FBI Is Involved
“This isn't just your normal kind of stalker or like somebody that just hacks in. They said this is a level four person in cybersecurity. That's how bad this is.”
Family Under Attack
“They have made it so my elderly mother cannot call me in case of an emergency. They have made it so my daughter's phone number was different.”
The Church Is Not the Culprit
She explicitly rules out the LDS Church, arguing they wouldn’t risk their reputation or legal standing for a single podcaster. She emphasizes their clean operational record and lack of involvement.
The Plan to Keep Going
“I will never quit this show unless I did like a big hoorah goodbye episode. I would tell you, ooh, I'm going out to do fun things.”
