Moving to comp security

Try the Computer Security forum http://www.cdrom-guide.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=36 Don't think there's a right lot you can do though :(

try www.samspade.org

This will tell you the persons isp if you contact them with the times, timezone and the ip address they can contcat him and take action!

Also would inform the police as they can get his details from his isp!

run a whois on the ip here www.all-nettools.com
under network tools you should then have an email of his isp to report abuse to.
Chances are its a proxy though and not there actuall IP.
You might want to think of changing your password if its a common word, coz if you have been targeted for bruteforce chances are it will be cracked eventually.

hi m8 report this straight away to the company and they will check it out
the system is not that secure i have heared on the net and some people
have had there accounts empty
look at paypal they can keep all your money with out your saying
just be carefull and change your password again
if someone has sent u a trojan all they do is recover the cookies
to excess the account

Yeah just contact nochex and notify them that this is not you making th acesses. They will sort it out, as for brute forcing i dont think it would be technically possible because, because to brute force an account you have to try thousands of different combinations, this can take days and days, and you would recieve a email on every combination

So seriously dont worry bout them trying they will soon give up, but make sure theyre are no trojan horses on ur computer, as these usually provide some sort of tool to recover passwords from the computers internet cache! and some have keystroke loggers

all ways remember to clean your cookies out m8
as this will hold all your information passwords screen name etc
and all they need to do is copy that file
to get into anything they want

You have changed you password though haven't you m8.

To bruteforce a password doesent neceserialy take days especiay if its a common word on a 56k coneection hundreds of passes can be tried in minutes with a brute force pass cracker so imagine with a cable connection how many can be attempted as for the emai being sent on everty attempt it is more than likely after so many attempts the mails stop being sent imagine 1000 attempts its unlikely you are going to get 1000 emails isnt it.
For a more secure password you shoul make it a mix of upper and lower case and a word that makes no sense.

r u sure u know the password, and that wasnt ur IP on the day ?
