I have a hacker and can't get rid of him!
Someone has hacked into every computer I have and stolen files and taken up house-keeping to the degree that sometimes I can't get into my dial-up, because he is in there and my ISP does not let that many users on at once. In one computer, I opened at e-mail with no attachment and in about 5 minutes, my computer crashed. I have hundreds of IP numbers but they are very misleading and I can't get anyone to listen to me. How do I prove that the person I suspect is actually the person who is doing this? I'll take all the help I can get.
REPLY - "I HAVE A HACKER"
You are mirroring my experience - hacker activity reported to FBI, Secret Service and local authorities withoun result to date. I have logged over *8800 incursions in about a month (many on dial-up to slow the idiot down. i have been *****ing this clown for 6 months and have archived about a dozen hard drives with record of his activity for law enfocement use, if anyone is interested. The current Mcafee firewall (V6 ) does a good job of detecting and archiving hacker activity, but the Ip-ban mechanism is readily defeated by this hacker (he "un-bans" banned Ip's at will)
Your description of Denial of Service occured here with MSN - dsame scenario. Hacker was posting *000+ KB files on the MSN screen name I lost access to, in what appeared to be a webpage complete with image regions, but no text was discernible to WinXp (some odd form of HTML ?? requiring an attachemnt reader type of program to decode. HAcker files occupied perhaps 50 % of a 50 Mb email region until deleted.
Hacker is sending virii (over a dozen types identified to date including MyDoom and Netsky in several variants & close to the date of public knowledge of the particular infection, so he is close to the authors of the virii) using my email addresses, but the email is not visible as having been sent from my machine and email legitimately sent by me does NOT contain any virus code (curious eh).
Hacker seems to sense any attempt to read email on AOL and to a lesser extent MSN and has used Microsoft computers in Vancouver, Wa to probe my machine on weekends (Microsoft is awa re and hunting).
Routers, Antivirus / Firewalls, XPupdates pose little impediment, as he will do an end-run around any protection in less than * hours.
This guy is potentially quite destructive and dangerous (no kid and with potential stealth comm abilities) and in need of law enforcement action to aprehend and prosecute asap.
These events occur 24/7 and appear to have a "human element" behind the key***rd - as evidenced by delays and hesitations typical of someone in thought. At log-in, there is a variable delay - usually about 40 seconds, but can go to 2-* minutes, indicative of an alarm and response scenario (?). Just an observation
Anybody with a similar plight - the apparent place to report is the Secret Service, as they have a 7 page form that can be dowloaded, filled in and faxed to them as a report mechanism
I strongly s***est all affected do so in rapid fashion.
