When most people finish university, they look forward to building their careers, traveling, and enjoying their twenties.
For Hannah Mossman Moore, however, those years were stolen from her.
The jewellery designer from Edinburgh became the victim of a relentless stalker campaign that followed her across countries, seeped into her relationships, and even targeted her family.
What started as strange emails soon spiraled into a four-year ordeal that left her feeling constantly watched, powerless, and afraid to live a normal life.
From Innocent Beginnings to Sinister Obsession
Hannah had just graduated from the University of Edinburgh when she first noticed something unusual.
Hackers had locked onto her, and they were determined to turn her life upside down.
They impersonated her to family, friends, and colleagues, sending bizarre parcels to her home—everything from stapled-together sweets to nail polish and random restaurant menus.
Every time Hannah tried to move or change her number, the stalkers somehow knew. It was as though they had a window into her private world.
Love Under Attack
Hoping to escape, Hannah moved to Sri Lanka, where she met her boyfriend, Dylan.
But her tormentors quickly found him too.
His inbox filled daily with warnings like “Be careful of Hannah Mossman Moore” or “Caution from this woman!”.
The harassment wasn’t just about sowing doubt—it became vile.
Hackers sent Dylan emails laced with rape fantasies involving Hannah, alongside lies claiming she stole money or traded sex for favors.
The couple, humiliated and exhausted, had to explain their situation repeatedly to professional contacts just to keep their lives afloat.
Messages That Felt Too Close for Comfort
The emails grew more threatening over time.
Some even suggested the stalker was physically near her: “I finally saw you. You look good in blonde hair.”
Another said chillingly, “I will come and get you.”
At a Halloween party, Hannah received a zoomed-in photo of her chest that didn’t appear in any official event photos.
The message that followed was even worse: “I’ve got spies and microphones watching you from every angle.”
Escalation Into Cruel Psychological Warfare
Things only intensified.
Hannah began receiving daily emails from a fake escort service claiming she was working as a sex worker, along with grotesque images of bodily waste.
The harassment became so disturbing that she admitted she was embarrassed to even describe it.
Meanwhile, the police struggled to help.
Despite Hannah forwarding evidence, her case was eventually closed in 2020 due to “evidential difficulties.”
Suspicions Around a Fashion World Connection
Hannah began piecing together possible connections.
She suspected a man she had once met at London Fashion Week—Hong Kong-born Kin Hung—could be linked.
Their paths had crossed when she was an intern, eager to break into the fashion industry.
Kin, who was older and seemed well-connected, offered mentorship and access to VIP events.
But the relationship soon took on troubling undertones.
Hannah recalled odd emails supposedly from Kin’s “girlfriend” or “boyfriend,” followed by claims he was being hacked.
Despite occasional distance, Kin kept reappearing in her life, offering help, dinners, and exclusive invitations.
A Trip That Raised Alarms
One of the turning points came during a trip to Florida with Kin for an art event.
After drinking too much, Hannah passed out in his car and ended up stranded at his gated residence.
She described feeling unsafe and even calling community security, who dismissed her concerns.
Shaken, she arranged her own way back to Miami.
When she returned to London, she tried to cut Kin off, believing the nightmare would finally end.
Instead, the harassment only escalated.
Emails, Hacks, and Constant Surveillance
Soon, Hannah’s phone numbers were being shut down without her consent, often after hackers posed as her in emails to phone providers.
Even her father’s number was cut off on Father’s Day. By her mid-twenties, Hannah gave up having a phone altogether just to find some peace.
But peace never came. Parcels continued to arrive at new addresses.
Hackers even posed as her father in emails, trying to convince her he was hurt.
Social media accounts were hijacked, with the stalker impersonating her in group chats with friends and colleagues.
Hannah became isolated, skipping social events and pulling away from loved ones, too embarrassed and drained to explain what was happening.
A Failed System and Lingering Questions
The police did try at moments—at one point issuing a warning to Kin and even circulating him as wanted.
Yet, despite his name being flagged, Hannah later discovered he was openly playing tennis at the prestigious Hurlingham Club while supposedly under investigation.
In the end, the case was dropped. Authorities admitted they didn’t have the evidence to trace the emails or tie them conclusively to Kin.
Picking Up the Pieces
By the time the harassment slowed, Hannah felt robbed of her twenties.
She described waking up in her thirties, wondering what had happened to her life.
BBC journalists who investigated her story linked some of the threatening activity to locations associated with Kin in the UK, Hong Kong, and Europe.
Kin, through his lawyers, denied all allegations and declined to appear on the podcast about Hannah’s case.
Hannah’s Reflection
Looking back, Hannah admitted she made mistakes—accepting free dinners, trusting someone she thought was a mentor—but insisted nothing justified the years of stalking, hacking, and fear she endured.
She now speaks out to raise awareness about the devastating impact of cyberstalking.
As she put it, the worst part was the powerlessness—knowing someone was determined to dismantle her life, while those meant to protect her couldn’t provide answers.
