Regarding this whole ISP thing

If a member of this site uses software and technology skills to gain information about other members who have upset them, is it not also possible that some unscrupulous members could also use those same or similar assets to discover the personal details of any member? I am concerned about this issue slightly, it does not seem quite right somehow that there is this suggestion on here that members can invade peoples's private life , what, if anything, is the technical team doing to avoid any problems arising?

Is there a Poetry Section in Answer Bank?

that's a valid point there slark, i know i pay a fee to something for security, a box comes up when i sign in that tells me it is all working ok, a green box thing, is that enough then? What exactly has been done that a member feels so distraught about their security on here?

slark

Hi Dot make sure that your firewall is on and the green box thing and you should be safe.I have been advised never to open emails and click on links from people that i do not know

Dot this did happen and for once I am being serious.

I was on this site and tried to go open a new window to you tube and the computer would not do anything then all of a sudden a window came up and what it said was a direct link to what munkeylover had been saying to me earlier followed by pages of html code.

All I could do was switch of at the plug and when I turned back on I managed to run a spyware scan and that picked up and got rid of a trogan and I must admit I did not know that a spyware scan could pick up a trogan I then run a full scan and that came up with nothing.

Of course I reported it and said about it on cb but as per normall whiffey and co just done their usuall.

Dot I will swear this on my little bouncers life and you know how much I love that dog.

slark

Knobby did you have a firewall on your computer.

knobbynonuty

Of course I did slark

At this time all I will say is someone on here is playing a sick game, but it is serious. The 'law' is looking into it and I don't mean just the police, higher than the police.

cazzz1975

Im glad its higher than the police because when I reported something last year they totally ignored it

unrulyjulie

figure, who is "higher" than the police?

well we had all of that issue before christmas, but this is an odd scenario, one aber (Drisgirl) says a third party accessed her computer, and she says her son was able to find that out and find out who they were, that is the security issue i am on about, in this caser, drisgirl is saying the person was posting something or other, i don;t know what it was, but my thought on the thing is, why did Dris have to get to that stage, also, what if she actually wanted to have a go at someone, would her son not be able to access another person's info that dris just tok a dislike to? (don;t ump on that and suggest i mean dris is the sort who would do that, I have to use her as the eg cos it is her that is involved)

figure

I should not have posted my previous post because I'm not allowed to speak a word about the investigation.

knobbynonuty

Dot I thought on the same lines as you just said about drissy and as you said she is not the sort of person that would do something like that as she is one of the genuine ones here.

Oi figs hun come on spill the beans then e mail me.
