ORIGINAL: JohnWarren There's a big difference between being attacked and someone getting information from you. What you are seeing is attacks by people randomly going from one IP address to another. They have no idea who owns that IP address nor do they have any other information. Think of it as a shake-n-grab thief going down an apartmen hall trying one door after another to find one left unlocked. Getting information from just an IP address is a lot harder especially since a lot of ISPs randomly shuffle IP addresses when people log on and off. Granted Mr Warren this is true... IP address shuffle as one signs on and off. While they're on line.. it does not. And it's actually easy to get the information needed... while person is one line. The longer they stay on line, the easier it is to get. But for those that like to go on and off alot. It is harder to get. But like I said, it also depends on the programs one is running, how much experiance they have, and how much they're willing to go after said information. Yeah I know the firewall I have set up are random attacks of people searching for things. But it also shows when one purposely attacks my PC. A different window pops up and actually allows me to go and see who is trying to access my PC. It leads right back to them as well. Unless of course, they get off line before I get to them. Then like I said before.. IP address is lost on that attack. And I have to wait till they try again.. and then their IP addy will be different so I have no proof it was them the first time. All in all, it's all out there.. for those that want it.. and are willing to go get it. Hense the reason I refuse to put SS# or use credit cards on line.. firewalls.. safety features.. pppfffftttt... the best way to keep all that safe.. is not to do it to begin with.
