twilightstar Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 One day my computer got hacked then the next thing i know is I have to agree with marrying this guy and taking his abuse if not he will post private pictures and info about me over the internet and always threatening my life he have proven to me that he has lot of family and friends to back him up just like he said. If im not online when he wants me then he calls me every 3 minutes untill i get online Also had others helping him with the threats. I talked to a detective and he seemed like it was just a joke and told me not to worry about it This guy has shown me my pictures so i know hes not joking. Im scared to even go anywhere What do i do now? If i posted this in the wrong area please move it to the right place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geek Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 This is definately the domain of the cops. What I did when the Mounties wouldn't take me serious was file a complaint for "dereliction of duty" - I had four RCMP tending to my needs in 48 hours Cheers!

Farelf Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 That's a police matter - and, as presented, a serious and urgent one. Not sure I quite trust all the private/commercial online sources of advice (and don't bother posting live links to those you might find - government agency sources are OK though - http://www.justice.gov/criminal/cybercrime/cyberstalking.htm, etc.) but as long as you just look you might find some useful tips, like http://www.netbullies.com/pages/1/index.htm Yeah, as Geek says - insist on police taking it seriously. Depending what they find and do you then need to get your computer seen to. You can never really trust it after it's been hacked but in the meantime it is "evidence".

petzl Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Ok thank you for the advise Also need to secure your computer! My signature is for a Windows computer The security scan click the "Continue to Symantec security scan" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turetzsr Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Also need to secure your computer! <snip> ...I must respectively disagree, to the extreme degree. This computer is a tool to threaten this woman and, as such, nothing short of ceasing to use it at all is madness. As Farelf suggested, its only value now is as evidence of the cyberstalking. ...However, petzl's advice is of value (to the degree that it should be considered required) with respect to other computers.

Just remember an insecure computer, doing means a hacker will still have access to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waugh Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 ...However, petzl's advice is of value (to the degree that it should be considered required) with respect to other computers. Even better, install Linux. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turetzsr Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Even better, install Linux....Um, I don't think that necessarily stops the bad stuff: http://www.goodsearch.com/search.aspx?keyw...are+OR+virus%29; and you give up the opportunity to run some applications which haven't been ported. It's a tradeoff that needs to be evaluated by someone considering doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geek Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Linux is a far better tool, but like a better tool, it needs more skill to use correctly, or it can happen just as bad or even worse (a rooted Linux box is far harder to cure).
