This post is directed to the person who has been trying to hack into this blog.
You first visited on 19th November 2008 at 01:07.56, following a link from www.macclesfieldforum.co.uk. You're an NTL home broadband customer based in Macclesfield, and your fixed IP address ends in 156.202 Open a command prompt (it's under accessories), and type the word ipconfig to see the full thing and realise you're in serious trouble.
On 20th November, you accessed this blog via the proxin.cn proxy server, as you did on 20th December. On 22nd December, you tried to log into this account several times beginning at 20:30. You have been trying again this morning (at 12:15 and 12:17, Saturday 27th December). The blog's log files indicate that you have an interest in the post I made about Wilson Bowden and Debenhams, which you keep re-reading, as you do my profile.
Be aware that your attempts to gain access to this account are an offence under the UK's Computer Misuse Act. Your activities have been recorded in full, and the logs have been passed to NTL's security desk for further investigation.
It doesn't say "award-winning IT journalist" in my profile for nothing, you know.
Well done, Tomo! How we could have done with you around during the various fracas on Barlows Beef! - naturally there are those of us who would be intreged to know if the person trying to hack this blog is one of those who acted as the wreckers of the Barlow forum.
ReplyDeleteThere's good evidence to suggest that one of those involved in the Barlow's Beef incident also tried to hack this account. Unfortunately, doing it from home using a fixed IP address and not knowing the first thing about hacking made his ham-fisted attempts VERY easy to spot.
