Mia Matsumiya has received many supportive messages from fans following her career as a violinist. But for the last 10 years, she's also been receiving something else: creepy, abusive, and harassing messages from strangers.

Matsumiya first noticed the harassment online when she began blogging when she was performing in rock bands in 2003-2010 while living in New York.

"I started getting the messages when I began blogging," she told BuzzFeed News. "My blog ended up with a small following and with it, a bunch of unwanted and frightening attention."
