Sure its possible to track the IP of the person who logged into the account ?

 

I hope it is. And I hope they are publically NAMED.

 

I hope this is possible.

 

WHO [censored] SENT ME A THREATENING EMAIL?

 

WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS ?

 

YOU [censored] SELFISH, JEALOUS CUNTS.

Seems strange that you get a couple of wannabe hackers join the board then a few days later the [censored] starts hitting the fan.

 

Kinda what I thought. Those ones using strange lettering in their names.

Its probably one of those twats who joined recently. You know the ones who type, well like tw4t5. Its usually hackers who type like that.

 

Oh dear

Yeah its called l33t. Its a language a lot of hackers use. Knew the little pricks were trouble as soon as I saw them.

I'm more than certain its not a 'real' hacker. Its someone who's only logged into the forum admin account - i.e. not someone who has hacked the box and caused [censored] elsewhere on the site.

 

The first hack was back in November 2001 when Jane Turner got the password off my ex girlfriend and deleted EVERYTHING (without a backup! lol)

Na mate, this is more than enough I can take of this [censored].

[James]

just have to 'accept' these things kev - not as bad as when Jane 'hacked' it lol

[CreamyC]

I aint laughing.

Have you lot any idea how someone would 'hack' this website ? It's not quite as simple as writing in strange letters.

 

As James says, most hacks are done by using indirection and playing on people's ignorance. It's much easier to guess/get told a password than intercepting a single packet to a webserver in amonst hundreds of others on a different network and extracting the password (Are passwords sent using SSL James ?) .

Trust me, I build commercial websites for a living. And how many registered users on football betting websites have their favourite team's name as their password?

It's hardly rocket science, is it ?

Creamy the e-mail can be tracked. I'm sure some of the more net savvy types on here will know where you should go for help.

[James]

In either case this is classed as 'Trespas to goods' and we will find who is responsible

I was going on those two "new members" who joined to troll the boards, when they failed to get the kind of rise they wanted they left, then this happened. Just pointing out potential people. I'm sure it's not a stranger to the boards.

This relates to an underlying issue that was never dealt with first time round.
