andsome Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Has anyone else noted an increase in hacking attempts? I had two yesterday and one already today. On both occasions Nod 32 warned me that a remote computer was trying to access my computer. I checked them both out on Google, two were from China yesterday, and this mornings attempt was from Austria. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catgate Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 It's because "Member No.: 77" keeps coming up so often that they think you are advertising.No. 77 is actually Crispy Peking Duck with egg noodles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-pops- Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 I had my main email account hijacked yesterday - waiting for me this morning were hundreds of mailer daemon messages telling me my email couldn't be delivered.There are also a large number of spam mails appearing here on the forum - either as direct advertising or "hidden" in commercial linked signatures.

-pops- Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Out of interest , how do you know you are under attack??because my inbox was stuffed with mailer daemon messages about undeliverable mail - mail which I had not sent and, from what I could interpret from some of the messages, seemed to consist of "advanced" porn.

andsome Posted November 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Nod warned me of yet another attack late yesterday afternoon. 85.30.252.174. Each time I tell Nod to remember to disallow further attacks from the particular source, but they keep changing. Most are coming from China, but a few come from Austria. Thank goodness for a reliable firewall. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
