Somebody hacked you, and there might not be anything yet, but they obviously got in. I would disconnect my Internet cable and If you don't have a router you need to get one. That will stop it. You can buy at walmart for $40 dollars, or any computer supplier. If you want to know more about a router email me.

Phishing sites try and steal your passwords.  They look like legitimate logins to sites you might subscribe to (yahoo, myspace, etc..), but it isn't really affiliated with the real website.  \n\nIt records the login and password info you enter, and then the people who setup the page have access to your accounts

Tryin to get ideas?  The most real one I encountered was when some jackhole on AOL got a username like "AolService5" and said "your account has been reset...please provide your account credit card and expiration date to continue service"...I reported him.

What is Phishing? \nPhishing is the act of sending an email to a user falsely claiming to be an established legitimate enterprise in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private information that will be used for identity theft. The email directs the user to visit a website where they are asked to update personal information such as password, national insurance number and bank accounting details. The email may further suggest that the information is necessary to prevent the account from being suspended. \n\nWith this information the fraudster can do a number of things that include stealing the identity of the person who provided the information in the first place to undertaking attacks on that persons bank account.\n\nThe email is sent to a large group of people, seeking out account users. The scam relies on the contents of the email request being adhered to by the account users and the details provided.\n\nA recent survey revealed that between January 2004 and June 2004, 1.5 million phishing e-mails were sent out. More than a quarter of a million were sent in the month of June alone.\n\nThe number of active phishing sites reported in November 2004 was 1518. The average monthly growth in phishing sites from July 2004 to November 2004 is 28%.\n\nIt is worthy of note that 5% of recipients respond to spam emails. As a result of a response, a new identity is created using the details provided and fraud is committed on the new identity.\n\nThe use of the phishing medium as a money laundering tool appears to be emerging, where volumes of compromised user data is sold to crime groups who aggregate the stolen funds into centralised false accounts by a principal organiser or “dump leader”. The use of false employment websites, encouraging users to sign up and provide their banking facilities to forward money to other accounts for a 20% administration fee has also been revealed.

First of all 2 of your images did not show.  Secondly, while the ideas behind the email information are good advice you missed the point of what phishing is all about.  This is an attempt by others to get more information about you.  Phishing emails generally entice you to go to a web site to input information about yourself, your banking account, paypal account, credit card information or anything else that can used for identity theft or to get at your real money.  You don't really talk about this anywhere in the blog.\n\nAs for the follow up with the email headers and such it is usually worthless to report these.  Most of them are either false or temp domain addresses and while the IP address might be a real address it is probably spoofed in the phishing email anyway and not where it actually originated.

Do you remember that chap that sold his web page pixel by pixel? Hackers demanded money off him or they would shut down his site. That is a form of cyber terror.

Ask yourself this, did you buy a lottery ticket? If not, how do they know you won? Did you sign up for an online lotto? If not how did they know you won? Unless your ISP drew your name out of a hat, common sense should tell you these are scams. These are most likely phishing attempts. Phishing is where people try to get your personal information through such tactics as you just mentioned. When people "take the bait", these people will steal your identity and rob you blind.

Is there a free lunch?\nNO!!!\nbe carefull many of those are phishing.\n\nIn computing, phishing is a form of criminal activity using social engineering techniques, characterized by attempts to fraudulently acquire sensitive information, such as passwords and credit card details, by masquerading as a trustworthy person or business in an apparently official electronic communication, such as an email or an instant message. The term phishing arises from the use of increasingly sophisticated lures to "fish" for users' financial information and passwords.\n\nWith the growing number of reported phishing incidents, additional methods of protection are needed. Attempts include legislation, user training, and technical measures

YES! It definately happens.  You need to get firewall for one. And there is also a way to tell if a hacker is on your computer and where its coming from.   Get firewall and make sure it has everything on it.  By the way i have over 13 yrs exp.  I can do computer programming, design etc....

Go to the real website for the company they're spoofing.  Most large firms now (like banks, in addition to PayPal and eBay, above) have links to where you can report or forward phishing emails.  The owner of the spoofed site (I have been targeted by spoofers of Bank of America, Chase Manhattan, and CitiBank) have a better chance of getting the sites shut down than a third party.
