thanks for the quick reply Ftalk MoD. Actully i'm not after to +repu, i joined here well to learn and also share what i know for members to get benefit with. i didn't report this incident for my own interest but its for those who's I found very active on these forum that was threatened. It all started when i joined the conference at yahoo chat of those nice to talk with member of this forum then suddenly someone attempt to boot me. I was aware about this exploit in YM eversince that's why i don't use its client unless its needed. my chat client detected a spike on a PM of nad it was identified from a certain [b]stickwithyou[/b] user. Since I use a commercial chat client and with the aid of a T1 connection when the time he attempt to boot me I feel no single glitch on that attack. The attack stop after almost 30 minutes of its attempt that nothing happened. I then warned at the chatroom of Ftalk the other user about the ID of who tried to boot me then there's someone who knows the owner of tha said ID and PM informing that the said [b]stickwithyou[/b] acount has been hacked. i confronted the culprit behind this kiddy stuff and he over reacted so BINGO, he's really the one. after a few hour when i confront him i share at the tech section an alternative chat client to minimize if not avoided the BOOTING problem and suddenly the culprit do his kiddy work. -rep me, boast his [url=darkyahoo.com]Boot Source[/url], and replies almost all the popular thread with this [url=http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa117/inmemoryof22/vince_and_his_father.jpg]SIG[/url]. with his actions, if [url=http://jedi.vince.googlepages.com/hacker.jpg]HE[/url] is not connected on the attack, why he acted like that? i already explained my part with these evidences and for your further investigation you can ask other active members of this forum and request also to explain the action of the [url=http://jedi.vince.googlepages.com/hacker.jpg]CULPRIT[/url].
