Re: Hacker left a trace
Yes, I know the method used to hack my account. First my email acct was hacked (I have no idea how); the rest was simple. Virtually all online services will "remind" you a userId associated with a given email address, and will gladly reset your password and send the new password to your registered (hacked, in our case) email.
...Yes, it does look "everything were done correctly from the hackers point of view". Hacker's "ISP host" 10.10.63.251, per »www.iana.org/faqs/abuse-faq.htm, is a "blackhole", or a "prisoner" server. Quoting: "Private Use" IP addresses:
10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255
The above address blocks are reserved for use on private networks, and should never appear in the public Internet. There are hundreds of thousands of such private networks (for example home firewalls sometimes make use of them). The IANA has no record of who uses these address blocks. Anyone may use these address blocks within their own network without any prior notification to IANA.
The point of private address space is to allow many organizations in different places to use the same addresses, and as long as these disconnected or self-contained islands of IP-speaking computers (private intranets) are not connected, there is no problem. If you see an apparent attack, or spam, coming from one of these address ranges, then either it is coming from your local environment, or the address has been "spoofed". --

| You have to keep in mind something.. those 10.x.x.x ip can be something else..
I'm on Cable internet.. when I access some sites, it show my real ip (69.70.x.x) or a 10.82.x.x. That 10.x represent the ip of the cable modem.. it's not a spoofed ip.
So, it can be either spoofed, or can be like me, the ip of my modem.. |

IP address: 69.212.x.x
ISP host: 10.10.63.253
Weird. I was not hiding behind a firewall or a private net.
