Tink:

I regret that I did not find your good wishes for several of us before now.

I sincerely hope that all of your holiday seasons since 2008 have been happy and blessed.

The troubling thing is that there seems to be no ‘official’ way to report these activities as illegal.

Very nice efforts while you fight against the bad gang of hackers.

Hacks… that is what they did and that is what they are… These “Hacks” sadly do not have the ability or gusto to promote their product in a honorable way… Any what will this do giving out spam – all it does is give themselves a bad name and make many people sad – especially here…

Anthropositor, why would you post something as dreary as that on this site?
In assuming that you had something interesting to add, I read your entire comment. (3 of them actually but I mainly refer to the 1st.)
Thank you for wasting my time.”[/quote]
Something compelled? Wasted your time? Never saw this until today, setting up a new laptop. Was nearly blind when this was posted. See fine now, but would need a microscope to see the thought in your post. If you feel the need to apologize in advance for a post, perhaps you should trust your instincts, or at least identify what in particular was dreary. I comment on a variety of subjects and issues. Nice to know specifically what one is being attacked about.

Of my last three posts, one was an apology for an excess of cruelty, (I occasionally got grumpy when I was blind, a trait that is still not entirely gone) one was about a blog which seemed a better idea than it was, and one corrected an error in the address of said blog.

It’s still easy to find where its initially coming from, packet shaping still leads to the originator. Proxies are just mirrors, however although the mirror isn’t you, you can still see the person in the mirror.

They may not even be from Russia. Smart hackers do their handy work while connected to the web through a proxy. Essentially making it appear as though the hacker’s IP address is from a different country. For example, I live in the United States but could use a Russian or Chinese proxy and appear that I am surfing from a computer in that country. Just wanted to provide more detail on post #92, as he is correct.

So as an above poster mentioned that he blocked all Chinese IP addresses from his website due to hackers, all they would have to do once they were blocked is go grab another proxy from a different country and get right back in.

Odds are the hackers weren’t actually located in Russia. The probably just hacked vulnerable servers located in Russia and live in some other country – probably here in USA.
