Re: IP Tracking Software?

So I pretty much had my identity stolen. My yahoo, and gmail accounts were hacked and then my PayPal account. They changed all my passwords so I couldn't log on. Then, they changed the email off my PayPal account and authenticated it with my social security number. They took $500 from my checking account into PayPal, luckily PayPal seen something was fishy and suspended my account. I recovered my email address's and they blocked all emails from [email protected], crafty ******s!
I noticed on my gmail at the bottom you can view recent activity on the account. Low and behold on the 16th when all my shit was taken over we have United Kingdom (109.123.99.55). Are there any programs you guys know of where I could get info from IP address's? Maybe some computer savvy guys know how to get info like the guys do on 4chan? lol |
How did they get your SIN?
paypal will log all account activity, but if they hacked all your shit then chances are they bounced through korea or something. For some reason a lot of attacks originate there or travel through there - atleast they did 10 years ago.
There are tons of IP tracking programs out there but you'll be wasting your time with an experienced hacker who probably has zombies and mirror boxes.
The best thing to do is format your computer (or get a new one if your firmware is compramised. Also purge your routers etc.., and install a non MS OS or install download all patches and install before going online) and contact law enforcement such as the FBI cyber crimes or go to your local FBI office cause they are probably backlogged bigtime at the FBI.
Also disconnect your banking.
It usually takes a couple days to clear a transfer --- so contact the bank.
Also if it was transfered through paypal, all the funds spending can be reversed and everything is logged. Call paypal - you will likely get put on hold for 30 minutes or something but that is that.
Also contact to see about notifying the government of the identity theft - I'm not sure if they actually can change SIN but it is worth a try.

For a small fee I can see about securing your system or connecting you with a network specialist who can.
Here is a simple example

I was into security stuff about 5 to 10 years ago.
There are always risks when using anyones software, be it your os or anything you use on your computer.
This is why I recommend the death penalty for cracking. To set a precedence. Getting your system hacked may just be a joke for some kiddies etc.. but it can honestl hurt a lot when you have data loss or need to spend hours correcting the malicious changes to your system.
There are victimless crimes and victim crimes, and data destruction and compramising individuals operating information (personal ids) or messing around with their finances by theft or otherwise is uncalled for - I myself may have been the victim of this previously also. So I can identify with you - but it was for I think about 1000$ but I could be mistaken.
