I'm not crazy, i need a hero

[hackedtodeath12]

I've been being hacked for sometime. I believe that the responsible party has hijacked my machine. I have no server, have no home network, have never been part of a vnc, but look at these attachements. Further, i often see porn flood across my machine...and without judgment i must say, i don't do porn.
Anyone got the skills to help me. Will reimburse for successful resolution. Forensic services have already ripped me off for thousands.

Why are you using FoxyProxy?
Does your internet return to normal if you disable FoxyProxy?

Virtually the only trojans redirect your browsing to porn sites. Are you saying that you have verified that you don't have one of those trojans? Download and run the tool from this site: http://www.dnschanger.com/
It's a free download! Has only one purpose - remove the DNSChanger trojan.

- Hey, it's a start... -
Sounds like you have run up a bunch of dead ends, so far...
So, have you tried the OpenDNS settings?

I ran DNS changer but the machine came up clean. I will tell you that my problem is actually a lot more involved that an every day hacker attack. This is going to sound CRAZY, but my ex is actually a gov contractor with top secret security clearance. In 2005 he was in Baghdad helping Army computers communicate with one another. While he was gone, I often experienced icons moving around on my screen. He as made reference to emails I have received that he Should not know about. Meanwhile, I have cleanly reinstalled my system time and time again. Once, minutes after a clean install, I watched as my firewall Net Barrier, took hit after hit from a private att ip. I called att had them remotely connect, and all they could tell me was "we've never seen anything like that before, good thing your firewall is blocking all of that".....the ip was targeting one port (59000 time and time again. Any ideas?
Foxy proxy is an attempt to keep my privacy. I have had no problems with foxy proxy.

Well if you really want to be paranoid (Anybody who has a clearance should NOT broadcast it on the net) start using the service OpenDNS.com. They even have a instructional video that will point out the benefits over your ISP's DNS. They even use PhishTank.com service. I personally use this service and it even made my surfing a little faster and safer. I think if you are in either the USA or Canada this service would be a great free service for anyone.

FoxyProxy may not be giving you any problems, but you are misguided if you think it is somehow protecting you. From FoxyProxy web site:

FoxyProxy does not inherently secure your privacy or anonymize you. FoxyProxy does not change/mask/hide your IP address. Privacy and anonymity are dependent upon a number of factors, including but not limited to the proxies you use. Please be careful using FoxyProxy if you are expecting complete anonymity because some have argued that FoxyProxy -- when used in patterns mode (identified by the orange FoxyProxy icon and the Use proxies based on their pre-defined patterns and priorities text) -- can actually make you more susceptible to privacy breaches.

PLEASE read some more of the info about setup of that software, if you continue to use it.
It's your choice to be paranoid, but sounds like you have a good handle on your Firewall settings, at least according to ATT, eh?
So, if you are only being attacked, and no entry - What else do you need help with?

Have you thought about contacting your ex's supervisor with your concerns?

 

[Rhisiart]

Maybe someone getting at your 'ex' via you (and maybe others associated with him). I must admit it all sounds a bit surreal. Have you contacted Intego and told them? Perhaps they may have something to add.

Make sure all your passwords are different from when you were with your ex, and good passwords (upper and lower cases, numbers, and special characters and no dictionary words, the usual rules). So all accounts on your Mac, all your passwords for mail etc. Having same passwords for years after years is a bad practice.

Set up firewall correctly, i.e. allow only any service you need in or out at any given time - every single service. Set up Little Snitch, here are instructions for that. Watch for any connection in or out.

59000 is for screen sharing / remote desktop. You don't want that service on, so disable it.

Set up encryption for your mail (GPG or PGP).

Remove all accounts from your system that are not used, if present. You'll need 1 admin account left for the system, and if you want to take extra caution create yourself a second use that isn't equipped with admin rights and use that for daily tasks. If your ex or anyone else has accounts on your system, delete them.
