Hey everyone, I thought it'd be fair to share this information I know just in case that person attempts to hack into other skype user's account.
So basically this guy from my contact list has been trying to send me a picture for a while (name is Fre*****y, asterisk signs to keep the privacy- I'm sure skype staff will know who am I talking about anyway if you view my contact list somehow), lately, when we haven't been in excellent relationship to say the least. I got few of my accounts in other communities etc. hacked before so I'm ultra sensitive when it comes to this, I had a feeling that he might be sending me this picture to try and virus my computer or something else- after all, why'd he want to send me some picture over skype if he can just post a link like everyone else does? Takes a lot less effort.
After I rejected he went 'fu' at me which everyone knows what does mean, he got kinda pissed off. Today he sent me a picture again(actually yesterday, because I'm writing this after midnight) so I didn't press accept or decline at all, and like 5-10 minutes after he sent me the picture again. I thought, heck, why not, after all I got my norton and it should protect me if it's some kind of a virus. Mind you, the .jpg picture had some very weird and lengthy name like 493204590329054390_28343dfsad_4532389....jpg.
So yeah, call it paranoia if you want, I changed my password right after because he was talking kinda weird and it was all suspicious to me- he just sent me some random picture and acted as if it was something special- Picture. So I instantly changed my password because I thought something fishy was going on- and I'm pretty sure it was. Right after that my internet connection dropped for some brief moments as if I got DDoS'ed or something(he could've gotten my IP somehow through sending the file?) and my internet could not simply work. Okay now that's even more suspicious, I thought, though I feared not because I changed my password preemptively.
So after a while my internet started working and I saw everyone online on skype apart from... Fre*****y guy! It seemed like he logged off right when I did too, as if he tried to perhaps log my account? Anyhow, he logged back online around 10 seconds after I did(and it could not have been that we share ISP and it went down- he lives in Norway and I live in Poland) and was acting even stranger than usual. So my wild guess is he in some way tried to:
1. Get rid of my internet connection for a while which could be DDoS thing,
2. Log off his account instantly
3. Try to log on my account and take control over it
After that we had some brief conversation, it was mostly him talking a lot in some weird manner as if he was trying to fool me, here is the conversation(P is me, F is him):
[2012-02-21 18:27:26] P: :0
[2012-02-21 18:28:02] P: i won't sleep now
[2012-02-21 18:28:26] F: atleast he is the ni***st,cant get anymore ni**ish
[2012-02-21 18:30:32] P: ni**rest
[2012-02-21 18:32:52] P: p***y
[2012-02-21 18:33:16] F: imagine how his nigglets are gonna turn out looking
[2012-02-21 18:33:40] P: did you just ddos me?
[2012-02-21 18:33:47] P: i lost my internet connection after getting the pic
[2012-02-21 18:35:03] F: i didnt
[2012-02-21 18:35:24] F: When I do that u also get probeb analy
[2012-02-21 18:35:32] F: one of my many trademarks
[2012-02-21 18:35:38] P: ![]()
[2012-02-21 18:35:43] P: you were offline for a while too
[2012-02-21 18:36:03] F: Back in my old village they used to call me "The Analator"
[2012-02-21 18:36:36] F: That was only until I abused a 12 year old girl,then then started calling me "the vaginalator"
[2012-02-21 18:36:47] F: but I will always be the analator in my eyes
[2012-02-21 18:37:17] P: i c
[2012-02-21 18:37:53] F: I hope u are taking notes
[2012-02-21 18:38:01] F: cause this is importent stuff
[2012-02-21 18:38:17] P: ye i couldn't live without this information
[2012-02-21 18:38:46] F: My gf says I talk too much **bleep** and should tone it down...I say I dont talk enough and should tone it up!
[2012-02-21 18:39:20] P: (mm)
So that would be it, it all looked suspicious to me because usually he doesn't talk so much at all, and when I asked him directly if he DDoSed me, he just started spamming me with these messages changing the topic entirely.
Anyways, perhaps I just made it all up in my mind but I like to be in a clear situation so I'm letting you skype staff know about it, and I'm also asking politely from you to look into this situation and check if my suspicions were actually right(that is if you have the possibility to do so- I guess you do).
Shall you find out whether I'm just being paranoid or I actually was right there, please make sure to get back to me and let me know
.
Thanks in advance.
