but this time I have matured and learnt the errors of my ways. I realised that I was stupid and immature.
I have been doing a lot since my departure, one of which was helping out on a special fx companies website http://www.gamers-underground.com Anyway I hope again to become a member of this community :)
when i first clicked on the thread the first words that came into my mind were - great he's back - he's changed. although the majority of his posts were useless there were some good/funny ones in there amongst the shite.
and thanks to the constant popups which constituted the link i have no idea what the virus was... except that i saw W32. something and worm at the end of the name.
Guys, dont leave it at talking Optus, have the fucking cunt criminally charged.. what he has done, i think is now classed as an ac of "terrorism" so if you want to pursue it.. he can be screwed over..
I hink try and AT LEAST get his Optus account suspended or something. It will certainly make him think twice :twisted:
If he gets disconnected for what he has done (which he will assuming Optus give a shit) then he will be up for a fair bit of money in either a re-activation fee or getting connected with another ISP.
the thing is - i don't know how to prove it fully... it's not like optus cane come around and search my computer...
i kinda remember the name of the website but i don't want to post it in case people will start to explore.. however if they ask for it i spose i will have to give it to them... it could also be in my history files...
*explores*
it's not the drive that's damaged..it's the stuff on the drive - windows doesn't let me access it etc and drive health keeps reporting weird figures and strange attribute changes..
a format will cure it but nothing short of that will do..
dont give it out or post it to anyone. it probably uses the w32.exception exploit, and it will probably trash any machine out there that doesnt have the absolute latest service pack for IE.
OR even then it might use some other hack that has no name yet. So dont go risking it.
i'll see after i format - i just hope it wasn't anything that did do physical harm :(
will format later tonight...i think i need a break...
thankyou everybody for all the help - Coco much appreciated :), tn1 for the quick response to my PM, OD for the info i needed in contacting optus, rain.. :D,Martok for the advice..
:)
will be back online soon... gotta do some other stuff first..
school subjects need sorting out this week, uni card needs to be renewed soon and i've got to get myself a casual job :)
I don't recall who, but someone was even recently attacking us over chasing him out of GU - I'm sure he remembers who he is though, and I'm also sure that he now realises why we did it.
fyi Rain - HDD's aren't really supposed to hard track from one end of the drive to the other repeatedly while at full speed - it tends to do horrible things to the inside of the machine...
Seqo - did you happen to get an IP address of the site in question? if so, I can put in an official complaint over the site content to the registered owner of the IP and get it torched too.
PM me the URL buddy, I'll take care of it from there
Edit: Incidentally, Optus is almost obliged to take this kind of thing very seriously. They might not shut down his account if this is the only complaint, but they'll definately listen.
Seqo, if you havent already check the following directory C:\documents and settings\username\local settings\temporary internet files (this is assuming you have win 2k or xp and you havent already checked this directory :)
MILF IS A FUCKWIT liek he must be so fucking boared to put a virus and shit on a very friendly forum boared so some poor innocent person or persons can have there computer injured he is lucky he dosnt live up here the FAG (sorry no offence to gay people) i am just happy the admins found it out very quickly and more people wernt hurt by this foolish and slyish act its say that it had to happen to seqo or anyone who is a good bloke on these forums
Quote from Minorci: so ya persuing legal action... come on what did optus saY!!
optus said that it is up to me.
i'm not sure what to do and will decide the correct course of action in time.
i have to fill out some documents that optus has sent me and a full report on what happened if i want any action to be taken..
they recommended i format.. done.
i lost a few movies but nothing that i didn't have on dvd and/or vhs. so i'm not fussed...
i can get him disconnected and pursue legal action if i so wish.. however i think i am too nice....
i believe at this point in time my parents are in contact with Milf's parents about the issue... if they are not or if there is nothing that they can sort out then i'll decide on something.

I dont think he would deserve being let off. Make him hurt, it's the best way to teach him that he can't do that sort of shit. Don't be nice, get even, as you said you hate formatting and he made you lose some movies ;)
the only problem that i see is that if he lives with say... his family.. then if i take action and get him disconnected then that also gets hsi household/family disconnected too.. for his stupid actions. i mean - i don't know those people and i barely know milf but for all i know they could be the nicest people in the world :|
my dad is currently being very stupid about it... i put that down to the fact he knows nothing about computers but thinks he knows all there is to know about them... :|
i dunno... formatting is a bummer but i guess i needed it anyway...
i'll probably spend the next day thinking about what to do... got until 9:00pm tomorrow night to get the report sent to Optus... :?
dood can u get into contct with his house hold cause that would be a very very very good thing to do and give rain or mep or beter yet crazy c the phone cause he can get pritty angry at dickheads and he will sory him out and he will never do it agian but hay if u can ring his husehold explain what happened and everything try get ya self a new hdd or at least him some punishment if not dissconnect him if it would of happened to me my mom would be goign aps shit lol
format did wonders... drive health isn't going bonkers like it was before and data rates through the drive are normal if not higher than normal :)
definitely software... which i am SOOO thankful for...
well, we haven't been able to get into contact with his household... perhaps later tonight if not tomorrow... i will also be emailing him soon (like when i get some things back on the drive) and sorting a few other things out.
imo, i do want him to pay - it's the others in his household that i am concerned about. also, if he hasn't got a job/is unable to pay for the connection fee needed to reconnect through another isp etc might have to be paid by his parents or guardian. money that could be used elsewhere..
Milf - if you're readng this email me at [email]seqo_ae@yahoo.com[/email] with an explanation... it isn't likely to help you in this case though...
I'm sure we've all known someone who was a complete tosser. Someone who we thought would be greatly improved if only someone would beat some sense into them with a large blunt object.
Deliberately infecting someone's computer with a virus comes under the willful damage act, and is a federal offense in Australia. If you wanted, I'm sure you could take this to the Federal police and expect them to at least take an interest.
We here at O4 have been approached on the odd occasion by officers of the law in an official capacity in order to find as much information as possible about people such as this.
Bottom line is, no matter what happens, if you get him disconnected, it might teach him the lesson he sorely needs to learn, and if not, he might manage to piss off the kind of person who will beat some intelligence into him.
Just remember, no matter how you look at what happened to your own machine, he could do this again in another place, to other people. People that may be less technically minded than you.
Wankers like Milf not only disrupt your life, but also make the lives of people like myself and IT professionals around the world that much more frustrating. I have exactly zero tolerance for people who write and/or deliberately spread viruses. IMO they need to have their fingers amputated someplace near the elbow.
I'm with Meph, I think if the whole family loses their internet connection because of his stupid actions, then thats their fault and maybe they will disipline him and regulate his computer usage. His parents should be more aware of his computer usage anyway.
Sorry to here about what happened Seqo. I read through your and everyone elses posts and came to my conclusion.
If something like this happened to me, I would go on and get Milf disconnected, i don't see it as revenge, i see it as teaching a twerp a good lesson. Milf has always said how his such a rich daddys boy, well, his dad won't be mad at him, and they sure have the money to get another account right?
Your good for being so understanding, but don't think of it as revenge, think of it as a good lesson being taught, and you can be the teacher - and set an example to other trolls :)
Looks like GU are all out with their pitch forks hunting the MILF hunter again :lol: Sif he's a MILF hunter, more like sixty year old man hunter :lol: :D :) :? :shock:
my mum agrees with both of you wholeheartedly... ;)
well i am still yet to contact him but optus will be hearing from me again... with a full written report and a request for disconnection...
y'know, i've met a lot of losers (living in outback places and Katherine in particular :P) and i've come to the conclusion... they all get a huge baseball bat type smack to the face when they get out on their own.
Well i dont no the guy but i agree with every1 on this DISCONNECT THE LIL BASTARD :) as for feeling sry for his family he sounds like a geek so i doubt his family would be able to use the computer so probaly no real lose for them besides some money
just heard... why bad things always happen to nice people :x :x :evil:
its clear that he did that intentionally to cause damage to others property that IS a criminal offence and if action isnt taken....it may incorage him to do it again... :x :x :evil: It was also an attept to cause damage to several people... :x :x :evil:
if someone hs kills me by accident in cs i forgive.. if they purposely kill me for any reason...i pick the harshest punishment possible .... :x :x :evil:
i would like to ask one of the mods to close this thread now please...
i don't think any more needs to be said or done, i thank all for their advice..
i was kind of hoping to be able to hear Blue's side of things and i will now through his mobile no, if you don't mind blue :)
and i will be talking to Gareth / Milf as of tomorrow midday...
i haven't fully decided but i am currently heavily leaning towards letting optus take the decision off my hands... which is 99.9% an automatic disconnection...
..but i need to talk to him in person... more problems arise from internet banter than problems are solved.
i thank all once again for their help and advice, (you have no idea how much it was) appreciated.
Nite All. (and please don't respond to this post.. or anything else... if you have something to say/ask PM me. just let it die or wait until the mods close it.)
