Title: Hacked Post by: Bloody star on August 04, 2008, 01:53:26 AM Someone kindly hacked me and left me a nice fake IP and a few blanks in the log. They managed to kill my downloads, but I doubt that they planted anything on my server... My programs are all 0.1, so what can I do to find out if they put somthing on the server and is the only solution a new IP?
Title: Re: Hacked Post by: RavenXP on August 04, 2008, 02:19:26 AM Check your processes, if you see an activated virus then the hacker managed to plant and activate a virus in your gateway.
Since you are starting, it is best that you just reformat with IP change (can only be used once every 7 days). That will kill the virus but deletes all your software. Anyway you can always download new softwares. Title: Re: Hacked Post by: HJ® on August 04, 2008, 02:21:22 AM Why does everyone forget about Newbie Protection?
Title: Re: Hacked Post by: Bloody star on August 04, 2008, 02:27:50 AM Is there anything I can do about my IP showing up in running software and would it work if a got a better firewall and hoped that the hacker gets bored?

Acquiring protection software is your priority #1. Title: Re: Hacked Post by: Moen Co. on August 04, 2008, 03:10:34 PM Why does everyone forget about Newbie Protection? Because the game never tells them about Newbie Protection in the first place, unless Lisa makes it a point to mention it now. |
