Re: The Ankap Thread
You didn't get hacked, you got fooled around with by a stupid teen who downloaded an IM trojan program. His program probably came with the deluxe set of buttons allowing him to open your disc drive, flip your screen, print stuff off, sign you out of your IM program and turn off your computer. I'm not saying nothing could have happened, but anyone can do this. Try to get some payback, get his IP, send him an email "from your lawyer" threatening to forward details to his ISP. I don't know, be creative, teach the little bastard a lesson.
Or better yet add me and I'll send you a program you can use on him.

I have Windows ME, if that's what you're asking.
And this is the story:
The AIM screename "One Way" is taken, so I added it to my buddy list to ask the person if I can have it. I found out the screename is really "important" because apparently, kids around the world buy/sell/trade screenames. The guy said it's a "leet" screename, whatever that is.
So he told me I can have it if I buy him another one. I never did buy him one, but he ended up IMing me again today. He told me I could have the SN if I made him a screename using a specific program he'd have to send me. I had never heard of the program, but I thought since I hadn't heard of buying/selling SN's, it was true. Stupid, I know.
The file was called "AIM Registration.exe". Once he sent it, I got kicked off. I came back and told him that, and he said, "wtf, brb". I tried opening it and nothing happened. All of a sudden, I noticed some window kept popping up and closing real quick. Couldn't even read it. Then he IMed me with another SN saying, "I like what I see on your hard drive.
"
I flipped out and IMed my friend, and he told me to shut off my computer, and disconnect my cable. I did that, then turned it on with it still disconnected, made a quick back-up CD, deleted the file, and came back. He hasn't IMed me since, nor has anything happened to my computer. All he did was look at my programs and it looked like he was about to mess around with it.
Kids..
