I dont know much about this but i heard IPs are traceable and they can be traced back is this possible as who ever sent the email has also made 3 accounts on my board and spammed the board really bad today with posts which i can not repeat here.


Can anyone find out if the info from above matches the ip in the pic below.

real hackers never announce their misfits... this guy is like all the others.. making big words to make you fear .. they usually ask you to pay them in their paypal account so they will not do it if you pay...

luckily it is not one of your threats...

That IP belongs to Verizon Internet Services Inc - abuse email is security[at]verizon.net

verizon are useless they wont act on it, just check out all the results on google. I had one the other week and reported it to them , you just get an automated bounce as a response.

ive recieved the bounce email already

I suppose you could do the sensible thing and ban their IP at the server level, and then you won't have to worry about it much :D

Attach your e-mail and send them one. I had a few people that DOSS my site for weeks.
I sent logs of activity to ISPs of the attackers and in 2 days the attackers were gone.
Just keep logs of activity and all communications.

What do you do when someone is using a proxy server? I have had many idiots conspire to DDOS my site. And quite frankly, I can't stand hearing it. They are all on proxy server!

I use the proxy server hack and it tells me the real IP address. It seems to work quite well.

If an attacker is good at what they do they can hide their real IP address no matter what. They best way to avoid proxy attacks is to block all proxy connections at the server level. But even this is not fool proof.
