Spying on the spies- I need help Hardware and Software Networking by Melinda789 :eek: I'm a middle-aged lady who participates heavily in animal rescue. For the past several years, I've been being spyed on and the situation has gotten to the point that someone using my own name from a hotmail address actually sent me my name, address, phone number, & drivers license number and asked me if I wanted a copy of my credit … Re: Spying on the spies- I need help Hardware and Software Networking by Catweazle Maybe others here more knowledgeable about such matters may be able to advise you differently, but I suspect that you are going to out of luck tracking the source of threatening messages sent via a web-based mail account. Those messages can be sent from anywhere, and are not tied to location and oerson in the way that POP3 emails are. If the … Re: Spying on the spies- I need help Hardware and Software Networking by w1r3sp33d I would make sure that you have some record of your initial attempt to contact your local law enforcement. This might be enough to lay a foundation for a restraining order in the future. If he breaks that, he will be in violation of well defined law that can be prosecuted by local authorities without a computer expert. Next I suggest logging a … Re: Spying on the spies- I need help Hardware and Software Networking by Catweazle Thanks for that, w1r3sp33d. Here in Australia, where out police are all under State or Federal administration, we have well-established Computer Crimes units, and stalking/harrassment is also taken quite seriously. Being under State administration, our local police have very clearcut mechanisms whereby such matters can be dealt with. Perhaps you… Re: Spying on the spies- I need help Hardware and Software Networking by Melinda789 This is all good information to know.

The fact that he is not coming forward means that he is trying to make you look crazy. He is trying to make you look like you are paranoid ..… Re: Spying on the spies- I need help Hardware and Software Networking by Catweazle CathyMeadows, those comments most certainly do not address the question that has been asked here. Certainly your comments are somewhat relevent in respect to aspects of the 'stalker' mentality, but this is a computer forum, and it is a computer related question that's been asked.

Re: spying on webcam conversation Hardware and Software Networking by Michael_Knight Quick answer. Yes. All messages sent and received via any type of messenger can be viewed and captured. If you are worried about privacy, you should look into encrypting the conversation.

On the one side, I'm happy that the companies speak plainly and honestly about the crimes of the US government, and refuse to be complicit with them. On the other hand, I would like to see them refuse to comply (and not shutdown), and take the government to court to defend the rights of all Americans. I guess it… Re: Silent Circle shuts down encrypted email service over fears of NSA spying Community Center Geeks' Lounge by Stuugie What I'm not particularly fond of is the one side the US government is taking with topics like this. Take Snowden for instance, here's a guy that can never go home again because he leaked "sensitive" info that "embarassed" the US government. I say, tit-for-tat. If the governements want to watch us we should be able to watch … Re: Silent Circle shuts down encrypted email service over fears of NSA spying Community Center Geeks' Lounge by Reverend Jim They are in the process of setting up servers in Switzerland. What I hate is the hypocrisy. Obama goes on Letterman saying how we need the whistleblowrers while he is doing everything he can to charge them with treason.

Re: Silent Circle shuts down encrypted email service over fears of NSA spying Community Center Geeks' Lounge by GrimJack Yeah, POTUS is essentially a slightly right of center politician but is played up by both sides as a far left activist (though the right seems to see/push him to the extreme left hence the 'socialist' label). He is just a politician who happens to fit a 'frame' for both the left and the right. Among other things, he is black and this reaches deep … Re: Silent Circle shuts down encrypted email service over fears of NSA spying Community Center Geeks' Lounge by canadafred Try to remember that the US government is perpetrating crimes against other countries too. Personally I'm pissed at US corporations such as Microsoft, Apple, Google .. who barder my secrets to spy agencies in an effort to save their own skin from prosecution from the US, It's all so freakin retarded. Re: Silent Circle shuts down encrypted email service over fears of NSA spying Community Center Geeks' Lounge by Reverend Jim The US government **has to** perpetuate crimes against other countries. Back in the 50s, Eisenhower warned about the military/industrial complex. There is far too much money to be made selling arms to the government. In order to justify spending obscene amounts of taxpayer dollars on weapons the government must ensure that it is perpetually at war … Re: Silent Circle shuts down encrypted email service over fears of NSA spying Community Center Geeks' Lounge by jwenting > Yeah, POTUS is essentially a slightly right of center politician but is played up by both sides as a far left activist he is in fact the stereotypical far left radical. What he does, how he acts, is no different from how people like Brezhnev, Jaruselski, Mao, Mugabe, Chavez, and Castro would have acted if they'd had the means.
