have a very filthy hacker (I do animal rescue and he wrote several of us: all filth..we are all older women and he called us C**ts etc.)
we all now have been put on black list at SpamCop..my Cable co-Charter does NOTHING..I had all my inbox mail deleted (inc my medicare info)-I cannot receive or send email on my primary accounts-This guy is evil..and good on computers..My IP ..according to spamcop is not a valid traceable IP(if I run an IPCONFIG....as Charter tech told me..I gave that # to Spamcop..said it was not valid).I am up the old creek due to some slob.I also want to get back at the filth-but now have NO EMAIL at all.What can I do???
All we do is rescue and transport dogs from the gas chamber shelters..now I get this because I help the dogs.
I admit it: I want to slam this dirty hacker for what he did.What should I do? I reported the abuse at my cable co-nothing!I sent the abuser's email to aol.com...nothing..and: now I have no proof or email addresses..can I recover this slobs email to me somehow???
I have another email..I hope somebody can get thru to me..I am even willing to give my home phone if a tek-tip person will help me..Thank You.
 
If the email was stored on your computer, not left on the remote email server, then you likely can restore the files. Try:


As for your IP, this is assigned by your cable ISP every time the cable modem is reset. Turn off your workstation. Turn the cable modem off, (if an RCA model unplug it), wait fifteen minutes. Power it on, then when stable power on your workstation. You should be issued another IP.

If you are using a router, be certain to disable whatever Remote Administration feature it has.

Install a good firewall.
 
hmm, sounds like a good place for a poison pill trojan, and hope he opens the attachment, after he steals it. i wounder, would that qualify as distributing the trojan, since he stole it. i do not think it is ilegal to possess, or write a trojan, just distribution.
