**soundboy** · 08-07-2007, 12:02 PM

well as some of you know, some kids from my class have been teasing me cause i own a website, they also sign up immature names on the forum. now they have hacked it, gfxcentral has been hacked. austech hasnt, ive managed to save that, but now i have changed my permissions for my hosting. now my sites are down for further notice.

i have the names, addresses, email addresses and phone numbers, now im ready to have fun

i have the email addresses on a spam role which sends spam every few mins to them and their phone numbers are gonna get a call during the night. the addresses i have a few yukky pictures to be mailed and their name & i.p i swear is on every forum ive visited (except ones i like). i think thats enough. but we had a meeting at school on bullying and all the teachers are angry for people bullying. so im gonna dob them in and tell the story, hopefully something comes up. this is a bad week for them!!!! just posting this to let you know.

i know im evil but ive had enough of it

Unlucky there, If you need any help getting things back up forumwise, just ask and I will do what I can. Otherwise, I look forward to seeing your forums back and running soon.

Oh and I understand they deserved it but in my opinion its a little bit harsh. If they didn't hack you I would have just told you to leave them alone but if you know it was them tell someone with power over them. Serious, hacking is illegal and they can get in serious trouble if they get caught.

A little bit of fun is OK to get back but if you're spamming their emails than you're no better than they are, the way I see it.

**MrMedic** · 08-07-2007, 05:20 PM

If they hacked you, use those IPs, addresses and phone numbers to contact their ISPs and law enforcement officials. Getting them arrested is the best kind of retaliation that there is.

**Christophaa** · 08-07-2007, 05:25 PM

By spamming their e-mail addresses, you are lowering yourself to their level. Yes, it's alright to have a bit of fun with them, but just know that by doing what you are doing right now, you are not only harassing them (especially by calling them personally), but you are also being immature.

Rise above their level; don't sink down to it.

If you are serious about being a webmaster then take things seriously and let the authorities handle the situation - it does not matter if you or they are minors - you need to handle this like an adult if you want real results.

cease your spamming activity immediately - two wrongs do not make a right.

**MrMedic** · 08-07-2007, 05:30 PM

Chris has a point, especially considering that you are the administrator. If it were just a typical altercation, then the "eye for an eye" thing is more than acceptable - but because of the circumstances that you're in, the better route would've been to just turn everything over to law enforcement and their ISPs.

I guarantee you that nothing would be more priceless than hearing that they all got charged with felonies. THAT is great payback - and the reason being is that first off, you're not doing anything wrong by reporting em, so no risk for you is associated, and secondly, this could really screw them over in more ways than one. Getting arrested isn't fun, they'd really wish they never messed with you.

Yeah, I agree. I think you're better off recovering your website and making it look like nothing happened. Nothing could annoy them more than to realize that all of their efforts were in vain. Why they're annoyed, and as they [probably] threaten to do it again, kindly remind them that you have their names, addresses, and IPs and that they're breaking the law.

If you do it in a really cool manner, like none of this even phased you, they'll be freaked out of their minds.

You're just asking for trouble by doing this. It's not going to help the situation at all...Not only are you risking them retaliating even more, but if you follow through with some of the things that you say you're going to do (ie: snail mail), then you could find yourself in some serious trouble.

This is the wrong way to respond to hacking

Completely ignoring them will piss them off more
