Worse, during my PhD my personal computer was hacked and my BitBucket account was emptied.

A few other incidents and I had to jump ship to industry. Kind of embarrassing that the university couldn’t even protect an employees from what amounts to corporate espionage and bullying.

Curiously, I have also had my personal computer hacked for the first time, since making forays into British academia, in a city with an above average crime rate. This after some quite subtle and sinister threats to put illegal things onto it, as I did not have much stored on it.
oof.
