I’ve read it already.

On July 3rd, right after reviewing articles on Senator Obama linked through FR, someone hacked into my computer, mapped all three of my hardrives and then transferred the information to Washington, D.C.

My genius kid, studying to be a computer server administrator, notified McAFee that he’d discovered a shadow server behind FR’s server(s) that was positing Trojan horses and viral nasties on member’s computers. McAfee contacted FreeRepublic and I contacted the FBI.

Our hard drives were all 128 bit encrypted. No one has threatened me yet but I don’t have young children. I do have a real junk yard dog of a lawyer, though, and I will sue the bejesus out of Senator Obama if one of his homies shows up and we track this crap back to him!

What user IP address # did your son find when he identified the info as having gone to DC?

Can he identify who gathered the info?

I guess this would have to be a first rate hacker to set up the scenario you describe.

Can the rest of us find out if we have had a similar mapping of our drives? How would we do that?

Glad you called the FBI.

Obama’s toast as of today, but my machine is acting up big-time, too.

May have to call the FBI as well.

Wow, if this is true, it may explain some problems I had late last week and this week.

My ISP provides Norton and I think/hope that it stopped and deleted the potential problems.

I was wondering what was the probable cause as I don’t go to known bad sites that transfer something to my computer.

A few questions, if you don't mind. :-)

How do you know someone hacked into your computer? How did you identify when that happened? What does "mapped all three of my hardrives" mean? How did you identify Wash DC as the location of where the info was sent to?

I don’t who you are. That’s funny right there.
