Seriously, this week I have had emails from my registered forums and websites reminding me that my account has been accessed 5 times without the correct password. I also, before I went out for a couple of pints, had a message on my computer telling me that the porn sites (I don't do porn on any computer, and never will), have been logged and to remove them I have to download this software! I cancelled, and then the download screen came up for software I dont want, dont need and has fucked up my computer! So I have had to reformat and lose months of work. Sorry for swearing, but I think hackers should get the death sentence. I don't make much money, I work hard, why the fuck should someone take what I have worked hard to build? Not fair, not right, they are taking the food off my families table and that is not right. When I find out who has done this to me, I will probably go to jail for what I do to them, but it is their fault, because they didn't know they were fucking with someone who gives a shit. Do me a favour "Digital Point", help try to stop this from happening. Hacking should carry the maximum sentence. Its blind robbery, or with software, its like blindfolding the victim and robbing them of everything whilst holding a gun to their wife and childrens face. I will probably get an infraction for this post, I dont really care, I lost all my work, so to start again, is not even thinkable. Your thoughts about **** hackers please.
hackers keep you safe they secure your websites, make your anti-virus', and keep your accounts safe. For your other problems: 1) Don't overuse the same password twice. this rule is the best for your password problem. 2) Buy an anti-virus and if you feel it necessary get a firewall and internet security suit too. 3) Do not download any programs (especially executables) from untrusted websites. Hope that helps.
The porn-sites messages are from spammers, not hackers.. Get a Mac and you dont have to worry about that silliness.. But to your point.. Hackers AND spammers should be shot..
What I hate the most is that most anti-spyware companies create a majority of spyware. They try getting you to buy their software through spyware. Makes me want to strangle them.
the perfect solution would be to create your own anti-spyware software if you believe this is the situation.
I know from experience actually... but had no problems since it happened a few years ago. They spam you with many anti-spyware programs and you can't visit any others sites but theirs.
Still, I think everyone should be able to use the internet without any problems from the threat of hackers. Lots of people everyday start to use the internet for the first time, it shouldn't be as complicated as it is. Use the internet, feel safe, know that you are safe. Most of the world now use the internet for their business, wether it is their home business or their kids for pleasure. I am not standing down on this, I think that serious penalties should be paid to hackers. NO THEY DONT MAKE US SAFE!. Where is the internet police? To many police on the streets looking for stuff to do, when most of the corruption is in cyberspace! Yes, maybe hackers can be used, but sorry, they should be employed to stop the crap that goes on, not be allowed to do what they do now, losing my income, putting me back 6 monthd or so and just about evey person they do this to. Show me a hacker face to face and I would go to jail for what I would do to a hacker.
lol prove it comon seriously hackers do something called back-dooring. They back-door your WAREZ downloads and create an effective way of infecting you. Try buying legit software and you wont have problems again.
I'm a hacker. Read up on white-hat hackers maybe you'll get a tiny bit of sense about what go's on. Heres a link for ya: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_hat
I don't build software. I have paid for everything, including lisences on php scripts I have used, paid more than once for the same script on different sites. Still, I am experienced compared to a lot of newbie users. Most of us in this forum have experience about the way the internet works. I worry a lot about the rest, new people. It puts people off, destroys our credibilty of being able to sell online. Am I wrong? I think not.
hey im a programmer too but heres the thing, newbies should learn not to put their lives on the line in the web. There are always articles and such for surviving the internet. Heres something you can do -- help out the noobs since you worry about them that much.
Well I wish I knew more about this situation than the ****s that you think you are. Far as I feel, hackers have nothing better to do than break peoples lives. If you are doing well, then good to you. If you have been hacked then please share your experience about it.
