I've just had somebody from India trying to hack into my computer. Has anybody got any ideas how I can get back at the sods?

Yeah.......but you really don't want to go there Rob.

Don't respond or try anything...all you'll achieve is to show their computer that there's someone there, and make yourself into a target.

At least you're running something that's picked it up........so many people have no idea.....My ZA report shows that my system has been probed rather a lot....many of those will be fairly innocent 'pings', but a fair few are more serious.

Just run a port scan on yourself once a month to make sure you're covered, and forget all about it. ;)


(PS If you do want to go further, PM me ;) )

(this version of ZA was installed approx three weeks ago BTW :eek: )

Shields up!

My word, this is really scarey. I'll have a read but I can't wait to get home....I don't think that my Norton 2005 is up to what it is intended to do.....

How did you know that you were being attacked?

Especially as that looks like a small range of IP addresses for an ISP so they will almost certainly be dynamically assigned and the bugger who prodded your machine will probably not be at that address when you go back, making you look like a hacker...

Email the admin and technical contacts for the domain with the details of time and IP address and let them sort it out...

You'd be amazed how often this gets a result...
 
I too updated my Zonealarm 3 weeks ago and now this.....:eek: :eek: :eek:

The time to worry is when they get in.:mad:

I've just done all the tests on my machine, running Norton and have had greens all the way. Then again, I haven't lpayed with Norton, apart from when I couldn't see the tabs on this site.

I do, however, update it weekly at the least. I also run Spybot.

Norton Firewall popped up saying there was a high risk threat, It's the first time it's done that I usually just get a little warning on the icon if my pc gets polled, the visual route graphic was attached to the warning.
