Change your IP.

 

[Bobby Sands]

What board.?

 

[Cooper]

does the posting of your IP matter?

 

[Illuminattile]

Run for your life. Seriously.

 

[Casey]

You're pretty screwed if anyone who sees that knows about hacking or has any good software progs for it.

LOL


In all honesty there is pretty much no chance of you being hacked. It's easy to get your IP.

Hardly any hacking is done my computer geeks these days. Most of it is done through social engineering. Persuading you for your details rather than hacking them. It's easier to get your info through tricks than programming.

 

[S O F I]

Run.

I wouldn't worry that much. Just have your firewall up, have your open ports closed, update your computer through microsoft, and don't open any attachments. Also have an antivirus up and scanning.

^ basically what the guy above said. The only real thing someone will do is send a trojan but that's only if you take it and you open it. The best thing to do is not take any files from anyone. It's best to keep a firewall up as well. But to help the situation where this 'asshole' won't post your ip anymore, get a proxy. Then your IP is basically 'hidden' with another computers IP. (not illegally though).

well get off the web, the simple thing to do. You IP probablly is changing anyway every time u log on so.

If your on dial-up then your ip changes. With most DSL and CABLE it's a static ip.
