    Why would he be doing this?

    Thats what I thought, theres no reason except the fact he's a nosy fucker who if I had the chance I'd shoot him square in the head, but thats not gonna happen so I need a solution. Maybe Linux server would be good but I really dont have a clue how to use or can make the time to learn it.

    His daughter even shared with me the words, "why would any of my family be interested in your sad little life". Well as far as I know they are and its mighty fucking sad!

    I can't give you advice unless i ask questions and get the full story first.

    Please don't take it the wrong way.

    Why haven't you called the fraud department in the first place when you found your bank details were under threat?

    see

    The question in question cannot be answered by me, as it refers to why he would do it and obviously I don't know :lol:

    I haven't reported it to fraud because I don't feel I want any law enforcement involved, but hey if he won't stop, it'll eventually be out of my hands and into anothers.

    Also there is another 2 people that know about him and are fired up enough to avenge, but I hope they don't do it behind my back

    but because you don't know it's him, you should ahve called the police straight away, or you could find people ringing you asking why you ahven't paid the first payment on a 16 grand car or something!

    Sounds like you don't WANT to do anything. You sound like you enjoy the attention.

    Change ALL of your passwords to something containing uppercase, lowercase, numbers and if possible other characters (hyphens, exclaimations etc)

    Restore your system using your system restore CD.
    Change all windows passwords and login names.

    I believe doing all of this will take no more than 4 hours max.
    So unless he then knows your passwords, this matter should be resolved, as you don't live with him, you are not on the same network, and I'm 100% sure you won't be letting him use your PC.

    This is all elementary, done it all 5 times over.

    How could anyone enjoy people hoking through personal belongings, I hate it and would hate to have to report him, its well worth a hefty prison sentence for fraud. (yes you are probably reading along here too, see my patience, but they do wear thin)

    How about close down all your accounts and reopen new ones.

    It's a little difficult to hack them if he doesn't know what the accounts are in the first place.

    Though tbh, if someone is interferring in your internet banking you are bound to report it.

    Have you tried reformatting your PC?

    Have to say other than brute forcing there are no backdoors into most mail clients now and so *if* he is getting in he must either be guessing / stealing your passwords or your secret question. What is he actually doing when he 'gets in'? Sending out emails or...

    The only reason I'm skeptical is I'm fairly confident with PCs and I know some so called 'uber hackers' as you might call them and these things are pretty hard to crack. How has he hacked your online banking account? You should have immediately reported that to the bank tbh.

    If your PC is clean of viruses/trojans/spyware etc and unless he has written his own keylogging software which he would need to get onto your PC somehow, how on earth did he get all your logon details for all your different accounts?

    He may well be a 'genius' at IT but he needs something to go on - he can't just magically 'hack' into your MSN etc. Do you use predictable passwords? Have you ever told anyone what passwords you use? Have you left them written down somewhere?

    There is something not quite right about this ....

    His own homemade keylogger sounds about right. How do I stop him though, belive me I tried, he knows everything I do.

    reformat your computer, dont download anything you dont know is safe. make sure windows firewall and stuff are on. report the incident to fraud. ask him directly has he been up to no good and threaten to call the police if he does it again.

    If you have reformatted your computer 4 times and not installed anything dodgy, then you, my friend, are the most paranoid person on the planet.

    Oh and experience of hacking ..... I've been a developer in a professional environment for over 10 years, specialising in security .... I know a fair bit :p

    Well I have formatted a couple of times, changed my passwords numerous times. Looks like I need to start using Linux for a server to my Xp and change my passwords so much so that I'll even find them hard to remember.

    or call the fucking police. for gods sake have you thought WHY he wants your details?

    somethin sounds fishy here to be honest, highly doubt he can hack into all the main sites you use, and its impossible that he can have a keylogger if you've formatted several times

    format, then change all your passwords and in account settings check the email you have set for your accounts on things (the only thing i can think of that maybe hes changed the email and is getting passsword resets sent or someting but that still wouldnt make much sense) .. and get a decent firewall

    no harm tho mate, sounds like bullshit to me too :chin:

    Thanks everyone you have helped me decide what to do. I'm for changing everything especially my hotmail account because it could be the root of him being able to retrieve all my passwords for different sites including online banking. Also most likely change my web mail client so that he won't know my new addy.

    Hopefully after I have changed all this and stop using those accounts i will get rid of all this hassle. If then, I still haven't, my friends, we have the best hacker on the planet and should trap him in a box then sell him on ebay :D

    BTw: If it has been so simple as him retrieving the password for my hotmail every time I changed it, I'll kick myself.

    What he could have done:

    built a small device inside your computer with a RF antenna, it's powered off your computer's PSU. He has inserted extremely technical apparatus to your computer, including some kind of device that transmits all the data going to your RAM. He has replaced your keyboard with one that has hardware in that again has a seperate wire that goes to his mini computer inside your computer.

    He can thus read all your keystrokes, and read all your memory.

    Also be aware of spy cameras, especially if you have smoke detectors. The best solution would be, to take your current PC outside, cover it in petrol, set fire to it, then when you get a new one, whenever you go on it cover yourself and the monitor with a duvet.

    :thumb:

    Btw, a 'hacker' is someone who merely plays around with code. So changing the way windows boots up without using the normal methods is 'hacking'. As is stripping off DRM stuff from software. It's basically opening it up, and reverse engineering it, to a degree.

    Guessing passwords and stuff is cracking, like you would crack a safe.

    What exactly is this man doing once he is into your accounts etc? What is making you think he is doing things?

    Maybe you could start by narrowing things down.

    Which of your accounts have been hacked? How have you come to the conclusion that there is any hacking going on at all?
