my computer got hacked into by someone who keeps changing they're name on yahoo. but seems to keep the same area in mind from [email address removed] to [email address removed] which is just recently. well here's my problem, they have managed to not only hack my computer but also my razor phone and sent everything from my txt's and instant messanger conversations to my spouse and all his friends. this person claims i know who it is but when i get the emails it keeps changing from i to we and they wanted me to just leave my husband for them..i feel like i'm on a lifetime movie. i don't know what to do..can anyone help and what really sucks is all this started when i started to talking to a friend who is in the Navy..apparently IT's have a whole new way of life in the military.

Can someone get your personal address and telephone number from a yahoo, aol or hot mail email address? I sent a guy I met online some info I had heard about his girlfriend. She got the email and is telling me I have slandered her and she is working with the authorities to have me arrested. She says that I can be tracked down via my email address as he sister works for a high tech computer company. I never even used her name in the email I only wrote your girlfriend. I'm thinking she watches too much TV. What can she find out about me?

I have suffered from an internet scam and all i have one the scam artist are a couple of emails and an address, but i doubt the home address they gave me is even real. from there emails can i find there ip address, and then maybe there actual address so then i can find their phone number? and if so how?

"The method in the article" doesn't get you the name of the person.

The best you can do without help is to identify their ISP - Internet Service
Provider. To actually identify the person you'll need that ISP's help, and THAT
will likely take a court order.

To get someone's IP from yahoo messenger conversation, go to start -> run and type cmd, then in the window type netstat, but before close any other open programs. This will show all your connections, if you have few, it will be easy to get their IP address.

To find information about it try http://www.ipgp.net

I dont know if its really their ip address. I was wondering if I could track an old friend down from a hotmail account they used to use.

Even if it were just their last name/whatever(VERYVERYbad memory) which could help me find them?

any ideas?

Recently in June 2006 someone had posted my unlisted name and home address at a yahoo group. I was able to get their IP address and find out the location of the person. I have their yahoo ID and a copy of the posting of my address. I filed a complaint with Yahoo and they took the necessary action according to their TOS,which is being ban from Yahoo.
I still would like to know who this person is and how they were able to get hold of my unlisted address. I contacted the FBI and they said to file a complaint online, Internet Crime Center.
Any other suggestions?

As I keep telling people, that type of service gets you only the region, not the address. In my case it's 20 *miles* wrong.

It does correctly identify my ISP, which is what I've been saying all along is all you can get.

Someone has hacked into my hotmail account and are saying they are me too my family and friends. They also say they have my ip address and have gotten my home address and phone number. Can they do this? Is there anything I can do about this?

There is basically NO WAY for us common people to "track down" and pinpoint or locate a person to their house via the internet just by using the IP adress and hunting ourselves.

The closest you may get is obtaining their IP address, and going to a site like "Geobytes.com" and clicking "IP Locator" and it will give you what city they may be from. OTher than that... it doesn't get any closer than that.

I have an IP address of someone on a blog site that is harrassing my friends, and I also have an e-mail of who I think is doing the harassing. Is there anyway to find out what the guys IP address is using the e-mail he sent me on my hotmail account? I don't need to track his name or anything, I just want to know if they are the same IP address. Thanks.

I would login to your eBay account change the password and the email address asap. I don;t believe you can track the person yourself, buy you should report this to Ebay and provide them with the information - thay may be able to use it.

No. Only Yahoo can do that, and they'd probably need you to involve law enforcement.

Hi Sameer, well you can get the IP address of the person you are chatting too on MSN or Yahoo, but there is a little more you will have to do. Ask the person to send a file to you or vica versa through the send file option of the IM. Then while the file is being transferred you can open the DOS Prompt and type netstat -n and get the listings of all the connections and ports opened from your system to any system or server on the net. But as netstat will give you many results you need to distinguish it, so I suggest that you take the snapshop of the listings and do the analysis later or user various softwares like ethereal etc. Otherwise there is no way to get to know the IP address for live chat or offline messages.

Lyn, It depends on what ISP (Internet Service Provider) ure using. Some use a static IP which means your IP address is always the same and some use an dynamic IP meaning the IP changes every time you sign on to the internet.

Do one person has the same IP address using the same computer?.. or does the IP address changes constantly like after going in and offline.

The closest I could get from your IP address is "Instituto Costarricense de Electricidad y Telecom" in Costa Rica. I would have to contact them to find out more. It's doubtful that they'd tell me anything. So technically you can be tracked, if the people tracking you have law enforcement on their side, but most people do not.

Following up on Ed Carver's comment that "you can use WhoIs to look up the registrant info for their domain:"

Is there a way to do this on a volume basis?

For example, create a text file & load it into WhoIs, or elsewhere?

If I enter 129.34.20.80 into ARIN WhoIS, I get IBM. I'd like to be able to find out the names of all companies where the IP is for their web site server.

Thx, Bob
