In sweet simple words man.....u Have been hacked....and the worst news is there very little that u can do about this....see i had the same probs when a darn hacker hacked my Id as well and logged me off the live chat sessions and when i signed in from another Id of mine i could see my Hacked Id and thus had to negotiate with this hacker for a bail out....Pheww boy was that close These ppl are way beyond hacking they sora develop softwares by themselves and then make it literally vulnerable to any detection by firewall and traces....hence difficult to be tracked

The best thing is create a new id and add all possible contacts there

kurious : how do these hacks take place , vulnerability in the app or using too simple a password ?

Softwares dude.....code crackin and stufff....these hackers are miles ahead of the apps vulnerability....but cant discuss those stuff out here....forum rules prohibit me.....Just one Rule to follow "Dont trust anybody on The net"

So next time be careful while sharing ur ID and Password with someone

[godsownman]

Try ur luck change your password daily and if your lucky he shall get tired and stop hacking or else change your account .Thats all i can think of

Best of luck

Thats what i suggested him in the 1st place....read my post carefully.....btw just between us......did ya really have to quote such a long thread of mine....i mean was it necessary

[yehmeriidhain]

hey! saap is it U! Welcome man! on Digit!

Abt ur problem ... probably ur id has been hacked .. make a new one! but changing passswords daily is of no worth bcz tht person who-so-ever U notified can hack ur password & tease U again!

& abt ur netstat make this very clear tht U willn't be returned back with his ip if He is on SP2 firewall ... fine!

Ignoring him doesn't matter newhere bcz he knows ur password & tht's just wat we call our Digital siggy at Yahoo!

Being invisible is no use either we all know abt some online checkers which will find U in "invisible" state too ...

Well, Ur id is not worth for now! Sorry! for tht ... but U just cant do much abt it .. try changing passwords toooooooo much ...

[ctrl_alt_del]

I think I had seen a software some where that acted as a counter to the booting software these a**holes use. I will Google it and see if I can locate it again. Will post the link if successfull.

WOHO

I donno about the password thing but the error message u get is the booting . Well it`s freely available bots or programs on internet which send packets or something to a specific ID from many Alias BOTS(ID`s) of the person using the bot .

And trust me I don`t think you need to be a hacker to boot someone

[daj123]

dude, did he give you some program to run on you computer? Do you have a firewall, antivirus, antispyware solutions in place? I think you have a trojan. I dont think he is using your yahoo username and password to login at a different location. Because I tried it and GAIM flashed a message "You have logged in at another location". So it definitely wont crash.

Download zone alarm, free one will be sufficient, download microsoft antispyware, and install norton av.

buddy why don't u start firewall in Preference>connection > then choose firewall with no proxies.

again preference > ignore list > choose ignore anyone who is not in my messenger list .

it should work for u
if not then u must start use of some good firewall like Out post or else

[djmykey]

Wow and I thought that hacking into mail servers were a tough job.....

[it_waaznt_me]

You should use YTunnel ... Download the Basic version .. Its free and more stable ..

[devhot_pal]

thnx for all yr suggestion though
but i need sum serious help
plz guys try to understand it isnt hackin of comp or passwrd
but plz help me

[daj123]

Dude, Did you scan your computer for spyware? Did you run a good antivirus scan with updated definitions? He is most likely using a Remote Administration Trojan/Tool to crash yahoo. Also, he can bring your entire OS down by sending certain packets but thats only if you're running Win95 or 98.
