How do you know "they" sent you email?

the police say unless there is a threat to my life I cant do anything....

---

So, they're NOT threatening you?

they moniter my IM's (yahoo) they install key logger programs.....

How do you know? What are SPECIFICALLY you finding on your PC?

Your whole scenario sounds too good to be true. If I were you, I'd quit watching "24" and any other so-called reality shows. Then I'd download the Knoppix ISO and run my PC off of that for awhile (even if they hack that, just reboot and you're clean). Lighten up on the "good stuff" and think about where you've been and where you're going. Then think about moving.

Because if what you are saying is true, you've p.o.'ed some highly skilled people.

Greeting's

Changing your life style makes no sence.. You need to know why, who and most importantly HOW they are doing this.. I think best would be just to post a Hijackthis Log it would.. If you know how to scan and post Hijackthis log it would be nice.. If you dont just ask.

Dont panic. Take care.

Go live in a cave. No?

Download a live linux distrobution that runs from CD.
Use that on a freshly rebuilt PC that you have checked for hardware keyloggers inside and out. Use a flat panel screen to cut down on those pesky TEMPEST vans or buy EM reflective paint for your office.
Don't use a PC near a window and draw the blinds in the room.

Buy a phone without bluetooth. Get it unlocked and change your SIM regularly, change companies at the same time.

You might also want to go to the doctor and check that you don't have schizophrenia.

I am curious how you know that they are getting all this info from all these sources??

All the advice given so far is dead on, you may consider weaing a hat made of aluminum foil.... Or it could be the MLB i hear they have satellites ;)

All seriousness, how do you know they have this ability? Are these spoofed emails about your paypal account being hijacked (cause thats normal)

Give some more info

Check with your parents....? :rolleyes: Mother-in-law perhaps.... :eek:

Sorry...not to be mean or anything...seems to be a lot of trouble to go through just for kicks and giggles...
and...
seeing as you haven't mentioned that you've severely pi##ed someone off enough for them to go through all this trouble...
and...
seeing as you haven't mentioned being threatened...just spied on and annoyed with messages...
and...
assuming you're not into some illegal activity that would warrant a massive attack on your privacy...

are you sure you're just not paranoid...or your split personality is doing this to you? Have you considered counseling?

Eg ;) :D

Maybe it's something like obsessive comulsive disorder or pseudologia fantastica?

If it's not, have you ever considered asking what they want from you?

OCD? that has nothing to do with paranoia :confused:

pseudologia fantastica? Possibly. I would go more along the lines of Paranoid Personality Disorder, which is usually just called Paranoia, but when I think Paranoia, I usually don't think as extreme...more like most of us here :D

There is a lot of .. This and that here.. but little specifics..

FIrst: on each of the points - Cell Phone - Landline Phone - etc How do you know

and please dont say

Quote:

far as my cell phone they were able to turn it on and record what was going on in the room at the time

---

your phone is obviously setup to auto answer.. so just finding the phone on and in a conversation.. did you check that it was an incomming call..

If someone is feeding this information back to you..it is a form of Harrasment and would fall under the Stalking Laws.. And any stalking is Assumed underlaw as being a threat on life

A firewall wont help you IF THE TROJAN IS ALREADY ON YOUR PC.. the best advice (from Aspman) is to get the PC clean installed, then besure that the AV / Firewall AND a Proxy Filter (Privoxy) are in place before you go on the web.


Please excuse the line that your paranoid.. we get regulars here..

Best to State the facts .. it is too easy to become emotional.. You've stated part of the how, please help us with the rest of the How..
Using word like "They" re-enforces the view of paranoia

syberladee,

Just so you know, I was not in any way assuming that you were paranoid, I was just commenting on previous posts ;)

Next time a novice asks you a question, before you lash out with fire, remember that we were all beginners at one point in time.

I found this in Quick Tips, by pooh sun tzu. Now I'm not sure why the person never even responded to his/her problem.. I don't know if it was the negative anti-points or the response.. I think we could have asked some more detail's then come to conclusion(s).


P.S: Above QUOTE is not in regards to Any perticular person (member). .

Hmmm,

Assuming that you live in the USA, this might be relevant:

That is a criminal offence.

Counts 5-14: Unlawfully Intercepting Electronic Communications Title 18, United States Code, Section 2511(1)(a)

I would write to your Chief of Police, Senator, Congressman and Disrict Attorney and ask why the law is not being enforced in your neck of the woods ;)

Additionally, you need a secure system. This can rarely be achieved after the event, so you would need a fresh start. I would try the legal route first as the evidence is currently on your computer.

You must also consider physical security. If someone has access to your machine you are SOL.

It would seem that you have more use for a lawyer than a PI.

I think this thread is a simple Trolling effort, considering the non-response from the original poster.

Bait...........hook.....sinker.


:rolleyes:

Hmmmm,

I wouldn't expect an immediate response in the circumstances. Given what has been described I would not want to use my own machine, so I would have to wait to borrow someone else's?

With all due respect.

Johnno, what he is describing is utterly INSANE! The CIA and MI5 would drool over this.

Read the circumstances and imagine the logistics involved in executing this type of operation.

I think it's a bunch of bullturd.

:cool:


Edit- Really READ the post, and the manner in which it is written. It is a joke. And at this point the poster is the one laughing.

Ah!

I have, and would say that nothing has happened that couldn't be achieved by simple spyware on the computer and a bit of social engineering of friends and acquaintances.

People do tend to look for complex solutions when the answer is generally quite simple?.............. particularly if you have an "enemy within" situation.

I am sure you have heard people say "how did they get my phone number?".............. when the bozos are registered on a jobsite with their contact details plain to see :D

I don't know about the mobile phone stuff, but my one wouldn't be any good as you have to speak directly into it, and it doesn't work too well indoors.

A lot of people forget that other people talk about them behind their backs, which usually explains a lot of "information leaks" ;)

What I am saying is that I can understand the circumstances, but I don't believe you need the skillset or technology that is implied?

I agree with you, and you already conceded the point that wireless may be in question........Yet.

This is preposterous.................And leads me to believe the entire post is suspect at best. the events described are possible, yet only through a massive effort. My polite way of stating I think it is a bunch of Bullshit.


IMO.

:p

Edit- I am just being realistic, as have an evil Ex-Wife. and my **** is still intact. lol

This is a photo of my system...........go figure. I am such a Noob!

Sorry...but I have to agree with Galdron...like I said in my previous post there's no defined enemy, no threats, etc...which are the first things people post when they are having this kind of problem...
in this case there seems to be no culprit...just some mysterious covert operation by some unknown source...
this is a little too elaborate to be a prank...

either it's a joke or he/she has serious disorder problems.

Eg ;)

Damn it's pretty bad that people have to appologize for agreeing with me...

Yes, I can think of just such problems...........like a jealous ex-lover or a spouse in the middle of a separation?

And neither of those fit my sense of humour.................... ;)

I am fully aware that we have not been told the facts..............well, some things are best kept behind closed doors?

This is a classical "lovers' tiff" scenario?............. and I would not describe the US DOJ as "paranoid" :D

If electronic communications have been illegally intercepted......................?

When I didn't have a phone, I used to send my wife txt messages from US Cellular's website http://www.uscc.com they have a text box for the sender's phone number, it will not let you send it without one... so I would always put 8005551212 in there... now it was pretty easy to tell that it was coming from the website and not an actual phone... but it did have the return address as 8005551212 when she received it... I am leaning towards Galdron on this one though ***SORRY!!!!!*** :)

How do you know that they where lissening in on you? How do you know any of the information that was provided. Meaning how did you discover that you are being hacked?

your computer is it static or DHCP from the internet provider? if static call and have it changed.
Format the computer and reinstall the OS.
Change email address and only give this information to the people you know and trust.
call the phone company and change your phone #.

This is the only way you can be sure you get this guy out of your life.

OK folks, I believe that this is now well on its way to being resolved.

This sort of thing does happen only not so sophisticatedly as the perp generally tries to make out ;)

If this is such a HUGE issue, why has he not checked back on this thread in several days?

And where can I learn to "hack" a phone? :D
