I think I have been struck by hackers

[Jimster]

Something is seriously fuckin wrong here, I get up this morning and my email box is flooded with emails from the Mail Administrator saying that emails to a whole lot of adresses that I haven't heard FUCK of hadn't gone through.

I checked the attachment and CONFIDENTIAL DATA from ASB bank was sent to all these e-mails. I fear they have gotten hold of my credit card numbers (With money I really need in them) Chances are this came from within AF because it is the only site I don't use my hotmail adress, XTRA can't help me for around about another 48 hours so

WHAT DO I DO????????!!!!!!!???????

Cancel all the cards, or at least notify the companies that any purchases made with the numbers will be suspect, and make sure you try and go through any access logs that your computer may have. Other than that i dont know.

It may be a coincidence,but contact your ISP and see if you have been accessed by the IP in this thread, or any similar ones.

this is the idiot we we dealing with yesterday.Advise your ISP anyway,they usually take a dim view of these activities.

If you bank on-line,go to a cash dispenser and take out enough cash to get you through until you can do a thorough check with your bank.

GOOD LUCK.

This idiot wouldn't happen to be Rico would it?????

Well Rico is an idiot, but I dont know if he was a malicous one or smart enough to pull that off.

Make sure you call you credit card company and tell them what happened and when. They'll issue you new cards and not hold you responsible for any charges that occur on the old one.

Yep,thats the IP used by rico/osama/assassin/etc/ad nauseum.

Hope he's not done you harm,he's smarter than he has been pretending to be.

I'm so sorry to hear about your misfortune!

Definately contact all your financial institutions and tell them what may have happened. Then see if you can't get a listing of where you've used your card recently, which will tell you if any suspicious spending has already occured... Good luck!

My Norton Anti-virus told me I have the SirCam virus, whatever the hell that is, I quaranteened it and took it to a computer nerd and he fixed it (all for $20)

[taranaki]

good result.Happy for you.Hope you didn't lose too much bank info.

[Jimster]

I lost pretty much all of it, but thats all right because I have a whole lotta back up discs

REVENGE!!!!!!!! :finger: .........well, thats what i would have done lol. if you know anything about 'rico' you can easily get his phone turned off, isp disconnected, etc, or if you know alot, can have his house put up for sale, happend to me once, it sucked lol. Yeah what he said though, contact your isp and your credit card companies immediately, and put a password on the ones you keep so no big purchases can be made.
