Title: Maybe hacked?
Post by: smilley792 on February 09, 2014, 10:29:09 AM

Hi bulldog/Kieron


Had an email from you today. With just a suspicious looking link in it(which I have not clicked) and nothing else.


I have a feeling your email account may have been hacked, as it was addressed to quite a few other people to.

If you are simply resetting your password bud then you might need to check what cpu you are using.. could have keylogging, trojan, spyware etc on there so whatever you do they may have access to

Something is a foot, this is the 3 r&d time in 2 months that has been reported(may be more)

Certainly ain't good for business if newsletters, offers etc, are gonna end up spammed and blocked to avoid this.

Nothing to do with Kieron here but lots of people think having avg, norton etc means your safe.. You ain't!! Metaspoit and other tools are out there and are bloody easy to use.

Most websites can be taken down very quickly should someone decide to ignore the computer misuse act and has an agenda. Tbh, once your hit you should use that safe back up disc, smash your CPU hard drive and clean install. Even then if you are on  a shared network and another CPU in that network is hit it could hop back anyway :(


Not that I know much about hacking, security and network defence mind :)
