[12:26] <BluesKaj> Hey all
[12:27] <OerHeks> :-)
[13:17] <OerHeks> i am about to suggest to remove the password from his account, silly me :-D
[13:17] <OerHeks> happy valentineday !
[13:20] <BluesKaj> hey OerHeks
[22:41] <Yikes> Hey, it's haplorhine.  I think what's been happening is cyberstalking of some form.  Somebody is tracking me for blackmailing purposes.  I thought only my father's network was compromised until I was admitted and diagnosed "psychotic illness".  Then bizarre things started happening in my actual life, and the next time I started my hotspot after I asking a moderator about accessing some the information sent to Canonical's servers possibly pertaining to so
[22:43] <Yikes> My Verizon hotspot can only connect to a "Connect" page on the verizonwireless site, and it never gives a certificate when any user views it for the first time.
[22:45] <Yikes> And it seems somebody messed with that laptop's rhythmbox in an uncanny way, but I don't know whether it was via the hotspot or though the desktop connected to my father's network.
[22:46] <Yikes> Both hotspots and their respective devices have exhibited uncanny behavior.
[22:49] <Yikes> I tried to call AT&T about intrusion on my father's network one year ago, but they said I needed the account holder PIN, and my father didn't seem to know where to find it.
[22:53] <Yikes> FreedomPop customer support was no help.
[22:53] <Yikes> Haven't called Verizon yet.
[22:55] <tsimonq2> Yikes: if it's stalking, report to the police
[22:58] <Yikes> IC3 is the police, "Federal Bureau of Investigation Internet Crime Complaint Center", but the report form guideline on the home page says I need to know who it is.
[22:58] <Yikes> ic3.gov
[22:59] <Yikes> Funny I never heard of IC3 in all those months of computer security research.  Perhaps the Ubuntu guides should mention it somewhere.
[22:59] <tsimonq2> Yikes: I really don't know if this is the place to report this
[23:03] <Yikes> What if it IS the police???
[23:03] <Yikes> :P
[23:04] <Yikes> Why  would they make their presence known to me?  It makes no sense.  It's madness.
[23:04] <Yikes> They must think they've got some pretty good blackmail.
[23:04] <Yikes> They don't,
[23:08] <Yikes> and from what I can tell they've already used it anyway.
[23:17] <Yikes> My biggest concern is that they may be blackmailing my father as well, and I don't want to look like the perpetrator.
[23:22] <Yikes> *stalking my father
[23:25] <Yikes> What if I look like a co-conspirator because I didn't call the police soon enough?  I warned my father vaguely!  I called the ISP several times!
[23:26] <Yikes> This is going to look really bad...
[23:27] <Yikes> I'm the victim.  I stabbed my arm because of it.
[23:31] <Yikes> Imagine all the financial information of my father's they probably have by now.  :'(  I'll have to warn him - AGAIN - before I report it, so he can take precautions.
[23:34] <Yikes> I accidentally left the SSH port open on his computer, confusing it with SSL, and the paper with the admin password has since disappeared.  :'(
[23:36] <Yikes> I KNOW it was in a folder, probably the purple one, and yet somehow it isn't.
[23:39] <Yikes> Any advice is appreciated.  Just PM haplorrhine.
[23:50] <tsimonq2> OH I guess I do have op if I'm a cloaked Ubuntu member XD
