I've been getting a lot of shills lately trying to befriend me. "Talented" people who come out of no where then after some time try to sway my opinions on political issues, such as the Middle East, Occupy Wall Street, and more. Sometimes I get notices alerting me of attempts to hack my accounts, forced password changes, legit emails of random password resets, and well-done phishing attempts. Bogus reports keep coming up on my artwork at DeviantArt and other sites like someone's trying to eradicate me from the internet. I've gone completely paranoid and started doxing internet friends to see if they have a real-life identity (shockingly some of them don't).

Be very careful what you read and what you share. There is a war on information and they want you on their side, whoever "they" are.
