Hackers

[Quixoticism]

Tonight while I was playing a friendly game of DotA Allstars I noticed several things going on with my system. I had read about hackers who try to gain access to your computer and I recognized some of the symptoms that were taking place. I immediately shut off my computer and disconnected my network.

I now have everything back under my control but this incident has left me very upset. I really want to do something to this guy but I don't know what. I have a long list of IP addresses that have been blocked by my router, which I'm sure are from this person who was trying to gain control over my computer.

Is there some way I could report these to some government authorities or maybe even submit the list on these board(with admin permission of course) so you guys can take a whack at him?

not really my place, but just thought i'd reply...
There will definitely be procedures in place you can utilise to report this guy- whether they'd catch him is doubtful imo.
I don't know any of these ways, sorry, probly dont live where you do anyway (im in NZ), but good luck.

If he's any sort of hacker he would have used anonymous proxxy servers, so it would be very hard to track it back to him.
You will always get people trying to hack you pc, just make sure you have good firewall and a good upto date anti virus on your system.

If I were you i'd format my pc, as it sounds like you have a trojan and he might of allready disabled your antivirus not to detect him.

Allways better safe than sorry.

If I were you I'd change that spelling error

Anyway, it could sound like the hacker might have put something on there if he had enough time. you should reformat just incase.

lol what's the "hacker" gunna do telnet to j00r router :O oh noes! just scan your pc for trojans, keep firewalls up and dont accept pictures named HOTBODY.jpg.exe lol if you have a long list of IP's from the potential "hacker" it may just be random pings and probes, my firewall has a huge ass list of blocked requests from mainly random queries. but if someone is really trying to hack you, good luck with that

The only real way to take over someones computer is to use a trojan. They connect to your pc using the trojan and take control, such as opening the cd drives hahaha. Most of the time its the user falt for letting the trojan get on there pc

Wait... hackers?

I thought this was a thread about the Packers! W00t Packers!!

 

[giant384]

that was stupid gunner lol and i agree with shaddow there

i really don't think think you were being 'hacked.' on my old isp i used to have massive firewall logs and when i found out who the ip's belonged to, it happened to be my isp :/

 

[Dead-Inside]

I might just add in that there are loads of "pingers" that ping for open computers. Just because your router blocks an IP it doesn't necessairly mean that there's a human behind it physically trying to break in to YOUR machine.

Actually, I was getting hacked. I my scans found 4 trojans.
Normally I'd agree with the argument of random pings to my router, but when there are more than 5 attemps from the same ip source, it's sort of fishy.

Anyways, like I said in my original post I have it all taken care of, I just wanted to know if there was anything that I could do to try and stop this.

Hackers only have a few motives: find porn, play cs, and hack other peoples computers to find porn.

his motive must have been the last one.
