A gripping tale of a cyberstalker who harassed victims for over a decade: In this gripping six-episode podcast — Can I tell you a secret? — by the Guardian, host Sirin Kale takes us on a proverbial journey through a famous decade-long case of cyberstalking — through harrowing interviews with the victims.

The case: For years, serial stalker Matthew Hardy terrorized his victims. His MO was crafty: Pretend to be a young female to let his victims’ guards down and send a message asking them if he — or, rather, a fictitious “she” — could tell them a secret. What ensued is years of online harassment, intimidation, and defamation via fake social media accounts. Luckily, the case culminated in a prison sentence, but the victims still live with the ramifications of this spine-chilling scheme today.
