Lord Slyther Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 You are getting worked up over nothing. I closed that topic as I considered it a nuisance and contrary to the smooth operations of the forums, and it was reported as troublesome by other forum members, that is why there is a report button. I apologize for my excitement and mobility. I was shocked when I first saw it, but I also didn't know he was telling the truth. So if he gives us rock-solid evidence, then there could be a problem. If he's trying to cover himself as a result to that post, I'm sorry for the trouble. Respectfully...Lord Slyther Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddah Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 No problem, I checked the IP address which were sometimes from the same provider on a couple, but he has used multiple providers on his posts, much like myself. Most I do from home, but I have a wireless broadband enabled laptop, and where I have cell service I have highspeed access as well, but since I work in a 3500 square mile area I never get the same recorded IP address. I also force change my IP address at home from time to time, when you work for your ISP you learn lots of tricks. Because of what I have to deal with on a daily basis, I sit behind three different firewalls, and have two virus guards on at all times, and two different sypware/adware sniffers as well. I also run two different scans a day. I still do get a bug once in a while, the nature of the internet being what it is. But most are easy to deal with, I also keep a mirror of my HD on a second internal and a third [isolated] external. This allows me to reformat an infected HD, and restore from a backup in a short period of time. Buddah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaysus Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 btw changing passwords while your mashine is still infected wont do you no good... maybe try to always use the onscreen keyboard to change them and then get rid of any trojans/loggers whatsoever asap (better format and reinstall)... if you logged in from your buddies account who hacks halo and so on theres a good chance he himself is infected by a keylogger and you stepped in the trap even tho most loggers are used for specific purposes (e.g. getting your halo login or cc details)there are many traps in the internet... bots, hacks, email, basicly everything that seems to be to good to be true is a hack anyway... by having a fair share of trouble myself with those retarded "wohaicanusethatscripttoforkrandompeoplespcup" kids without proper parenting nor pubic hair id say the above works quite well... the traps aswell as avoiding it legal steps are close to being pointless as no sane judge would even start trial without somin above 100k$ involved... and even then most countries give a crap about it and the offender gets away with somin like 5h community service... as to ip adresses changing - mind that not everyone uses a fixed ip anyway... many use proxies (very useful after 911 anyway) or dsl which changes the ip on each login...

worm82075 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 dsl which changes the ip on each login... I reside on a Bell South DSL with a fixed IP. Times they are a changing my friend and 80% of all IPs are fixed now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
