Hacking In Wexford

    Got a text from my uncle today telling me about an email I supposedly sent. This email was a typical scam-type thing: 'Single Mom Makes Bajillions'.
    I realised that somebody had gained access to my email, so I changed my password. Just to be safe I decided to check out my Router for any disturbances.
    Around 8.30 this evening, an FTP hacking bot of some sort broke into our wireless network with brute force, bypassing our WPA-PSK.
    I told the family about it and without even telling anyone about the time it occurred, my mother asked about a man she saw parked in the estate in a silver car. She said she saw him at about 8.30. This leads me to believe that he was the 'perpetrator'.

    So just a word of warning to anyone in the Wexford Town area; Watch out for this arsehole.

    The router has become self aware. Today it's spamming emails, tomorrow it's taking over defense networks and deciding our fate in a nano-second

    It's a well known fact that all hackers drive silver cars. But it's not silver, it's tinfoil.

    You do realise a hacker doesn't have to break your email password etc to send out crap emails in your name? they can send spam email with fake headers.
