Don’t want to hijack or anything, but can you give us a little more info on all this hacking business? I’m somewhat familiar with firewalls and such. I don’t exactly get what you’re trying to say happened. Part of it seems like you are saying someone hacked your account here. That doesn’t really make sense, unless there was a post not posted by you here. Part of it sounds like someone hacked you through this site, which is impossible. But then, why would you post a message to the hacker here? Part of it sounds like someone hacked you directly, which is very possible, although doubtful that an experienced enough hacker (one who could get through your firewall) would want to pay you that much attention based on things you have posted here. And then again, why would you post a message to them here? What’s the deal? Or was it part of the drunken posting again?
Maybe through his e-mail address?
No No No. Demo. Kinda rhymes.
Spider has it right. I believe they got in through E-mail and/or a now well known back-door that windows so graciously allows.
How do I know what they got at? To be honest I’m not sure. I followed the logs and and looked at where they were headed. That was it.
Not a big deal. Those who have firewalls know that you routinely get probed when using a high speed connection.
Not a problem now. Not much they could get anyway. I was just irritated at the time.
I’m back to my jolly self again.
Thanks Anthracite! I feel a lot more secure now.

Yeah, unfortunately it is. Real shame, too–we could cry on each other about how bad our NFL teams are. (Combined points scored by Steelers and Seahawks today–zero, zippo, and zilch.)
But we never know where the winds of time will take us…and if we keep doing this in other people’s threads, maybe they’ll offer to pay our air fares to North Dakota just to try and shut us up. (You’re not the first one, Cnote.)
Well, you haven’t pissed me off, but I don’t offend easily.
But go ahead and try. That’s what the Pit is for, right?
