A motive and a form. That's often all it takes. Three clients. Three investigations. Names and identifying details changed throughout.

A public figure being hunted by an anonymous stalker

Exposure mapped. Data sources closed. Harassment stopped.

The situation

Leila, a lifestyle creator with a following of 420,000 across Instagram and TikTok, had been receiving escalating threats from an anonymous account for eight months. She had filed a police report, hired a cybersecurity consultant, and changed every password. None of it stopped it. The threats had started naming personal detail no stranger should have known: her sister's workplace, her agent's private email, the road she lived on.

Life, light, London.
Illustrative profile. Details anonymised.

What we did

We ran the Barnveil Protocol on Leila. A full map of every piece of personal data a stranger could find on her: address history, family connections, daily routine markers, old accounts still carrying her details. That map told her legal team and the police exactly which sources the stalker was pulling from, and gave us the list of removals to close.

  1. Day 0 Report delivered
  2. Week 1 Removals submitted
  3. Week 4 Sources closed
  4. Week 6 Threats stopped

The outcome

The sources the stalker had been drawing from were closed. With nothing new to reference and nowhere left to pull fresh detail from, the threats lost their edge and stopped. Leila's legal team used the Barnveil report as the evidentiary base for their own action.

"They showed me exactly where my life was leaking from, and shut it down."

— Leila, public figure

A family whose home address was being used to turn up at their door

Uninvited visitors stopped within four weeks. 90% of exposures removed.

The situation

The Halliwell family. Three children, two still in primary school. A quiet residential street in North London. Strangers arrived at their door twice in a month, once at 11pm and once at lunchtime on a Saturday. Full address, both parents' phone numbers, and the children's names sitting on people-search sites they had never consented to.

What we did

Full Barnveil Protocol run. Report delivered in 48 hours. Over 200 exposures across 47 databases and sites, plus breach credentials for accounts still in use. Removal programme opened: GDPR takedowns, data broker opt-outs, directory removals, Street View suppression, dark-web sweep.

Before
200 exposures
After
90% removed
  1. Day 0 Report delivered
  2. Week 1 Requests submitted
  3. Week 4 90% removed
  4. Day 90 Re-scan holds

The outcome

The uninvited visitors stopped. The cold calls stopped. The 90-day re-scan confirmed the removals held and no new listings had reappeared.

"The people turning up at our door stopped. We can finally relax in our own home."

— The Halliwells, London

An executive being targeted with defamation, breach data, and an unblurred home

Search results cleaned in 3 weeks. Credentials rotated. Quiet risk stopped.

The situation

James, a senior partner in his late forties at a City firm, was named in defamatory posts on a blog and across online forums alleging professional misconduct with no substance behind it. His home address was published alongside, and the whole picture was ranking on the first page of Google for his name. Street View showed the house unblurred.

What we did

Full picture mapped with the Barnveil Protocol. Beyond the blog and forums: 30+ data brokers, breach records in known dumps. GDPR right-to-erasure requests to blog host and forum operators. Google de-indexing requests. Broker removals in parallel. Credentials rotated. Street View blurring requested.

  1. Day 0 Full map delivered
  2. Day 10 Blog post removed
  3. Week 3 Google cleared
  4. Month 2 All brokers cleared

The outcome

Blog post down in 10 days. Google de-indexed in three weeks. Broker removals confirmed over the following month. The breach credentials are no longer a live key to anything.

"My reputation was restored without any public fuss."
