Rumba Rue Posted May 25, 2006 Author Share Posted May 25, 2006 If you can, put a block on the sender. They'll get bounced back to the person who is doing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tudor MercWench Smith Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Yeah - so . .. I got the emails in my yahoo account. Opened them, but not the link, didn't seem to catch anything from that. I knew they were nasty before I even looked at them, because . . . I happened to toast one of the work computers when, during a lull in our hectic day, I went to check in at the pub and a pop up came up that was trying to download something, then wouldn't close when I frantically clicked on the close button and the whole enclada would only close after I ctr+alt+dlted a few times to bring up the control panel. No sooner had I done that then a nice, scary spy-ware alert popped up, saying that the computer was infected. But it wasn't just spywear . . . . can we say big nasty virus, that looked like a horse (i.e seemed to be the Trojan Virus) Thank God for my Front Office Manager and tech support. my manager spent hours getting that damned thing fixed AND he didn't squeal to my GM or the Controller. If he had, my ass would have been grass. I hadn't come back to the pub in over a week, afraid it might crash whatever computer I was on . . . but finally I braved it out. Here's to hoping that the hacker that decided to do that choked on his millionth bag of doritos and is slowly being eaten by the rabid mice in his shit-heap appartment. . . .. Just remember folks, being a computer nerd is a gift - the question is, are you going to use your power for good, or for evil! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Handed Jill Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Typically, the folks who propagate these sort of things feel powerless in their own lives, are usually teenage and 20-something boys, have poor social skills and this is how they make themselves feel better. It never occurs to them to do something positive about their own lives; their way of dealing with their inadequacies is to make as many other people feel miserable as possible.

Rumba Rue Posted June 1, 2006 Author Share Posted June 1, 2006 Well it's no teenage boy who did this, it's a man, and he's married. I'm betting his wife has no idea he is doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 So, you know who did it? Can charges be pressed against him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumba Rue Posted June 1, 2006 Author Share Posted June 1, 2006 Unfortuntely, I don't have the guy's address so I cannot contact police. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyratePhil Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Rumba- Many moons ago I worked for a PI in City of Industry, and one of the things I learned is that, given only a name, you CAN find someone.

Christine Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Maybe if you have the email address or at least the IP number they can go from there to try and figure it out how to find him. I'd hate to see this bastard get away with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Grace Oakum Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 I hope you guys catch the creep that did that! He sure needs to be keelhauled, at the very least. This is the first time I've been here since the virus hit. Been too afraid to get infected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
