How can I know when ive been hacked

Hi, Robert Ruelas,.

Compromised account, unauthorized access

You encounter connection problems with your Windows Live ID? This usually happens because that...

  • You forgot your password.
  • Someone has stolen your password and use your account to send spam. We block the compromised accounts to protect you and your contacts, but also to help you recover your account.

The best way to regain control of your Windows Live account is to change your password. Thereafter, you must ensure that your account information has not been changed by the attacker. Otherwise, it could take control of your account again. Here are the steps you should take to regain control of your account:

  1. You can still sign in with your Windows Live ID address email and password? If you can, you should change your password.
  2. Are ask you your mobile phone number after signing in? At sign in, we can ask for a mobile phone number in order to send a text Message with a secret code that you enter. This prevents spammers from using your account.
  3. If you are unable to connect, try to reset your password.

How can you tell if your system is under attack?

You notice something odd on the behavior of your system? Chances are that your system may be compromised. Your system may have been compromised signs include:

  • Exceptionally low network activity, disconnection from the network service or unusual network traffic.
  • An alarm system or a similar indication of an intrusion detection tool
  • Suspicious entries in the system or accounting of the network (for example, a UNIX user obtains privileged access without using approved methods)
  • Accounting discrepancies (for example, a person opinion gap a 18 minutes in the accounting log, in which there is no correlation)
  • Failed logon attempts
  • New user of unknown origin accounts
  • Log entries unusual such as the network connections of unknown computers or services, connection failures.
  • New files of unknown origin and function
  • Unexplained or attempt to change the size of the files, check sums, date/time, stamps, including those related to ExΘcutables systΦme or configuration files
  • Unexplained addition, deletion, or modification of data
  • Refusal of service or activity of the impossibility of one or more users to connect to a account; including connections to the admin/root console
  • System hangs
  • Poor system performance - system seems to be slower than normal and less sensitive than expected. (Note: unexplained disk activity may be due to the system maintenance records such as cleaning of disk files while the system is idle, this is normal.)
  • Any unauthorized use of a program or adding an application of sniffer to capture traffic network or names of username/password
  • Port-scanning (use of the exploit and scanners of vulnerabilities, the remote queries for more information on the systems and/or users or social engineering attempts)
  • Use unusual times (statistically, greater security of the incidents occur during working hours than at any other time)
  • Once indicated the use of one account which does not correspond to the true last time of using this account
  • Unusual usage patterns (e.g., programs are collected in the account of a user who does not know how to program)

For more detailed help to determine if your system could be compromised, please see the following information from the center of Coordination CERT:

  • How can I know when Flex is done drawing/rendering everything?

    I have a chart in Flex 4 that works by letting her select user an item in a control DropDownList and then retrieve all the values associated with this value in a database.

    When the user selects a new item, all of the chart is redrawn, which takes about 2-3 seconds. During this time, I want to display a loading icon that is triggered by a Boolean var. The problem is that I have no reliable way of knowing when the Flash is finished loading/drawing/rendering everything.

    The attribute "creationComplete" doesn't seem to help because it triggers far too early.

    This works for all types of components.

  • How will I know when my PC battery needs to be replaced

    Windows Vista sp1 - Home Premium 32 bit IE 8 not networking

    How can I know when / if my PC battery needs to be replaced? Computer has been installed may 2008

    Hello.

    There is not a really good to this answer unless you notice that the battery life is much shorther immediately when you first purchased the machine.

    Computer manufactureres that batteries in laptops are parts that suffer from wear, to this effect, there is only a 1 year warranty on it, opposes the computer that may have 2 or 3 years warranty.

    When a battery is 3 years old, very often, it will be shown signs of wear as fast discharge and the computer to stop suddenly even if it is 10 to 30% remaining battery life. When these events occur, it is time to put in place a new battery.

    Because your computer is 2008, and I guess you have not replaced your battery since then, I would say it might be time to change, but if you experience any of the symptoms I described above, or that doesn't bother you, there is not no need to replace it yet.

    How can I know if an external drive has been used for Time Machine and what computer it came with too?

    I have several laptops and iMacs. I spent the relocation of the year and only used the MacBook Pro.

    Now I'm trying to figure out which drive goes with which computer

    I connected just a disk seagate 1.5 t and the first thing he did was to ask if I wanted to use it as a Time Machine drive.

    (1) if it is the TM disk accompanying this computer don't would not it have just started upward automatically?

    (2) what happens if I would have said yes?

    (3) I don't even know if it's been activated for TM. Is there a way to tell? It may hold just for iMovie files and other programs associated with a computer from my past.

    All readers of backup Time Machine contains a folder named: Backups.backupdb. If you open this folder, you'll find another folder with the name of the computer that has been saved. If several computers have been saved on the same disk, you will have several folders.

  • How can I know if someone is trying to hack into my system?

    Original title: Hackers

    How can I know if someone is trying to hack into my system?

    If you see something strange, like move your mouse, you windows open randomly. In some cases, you may not notice anything.

    I suggest to do some checking, first run Windows Update and install all updates, if your system is outdated, it is easier to get hacked.

    Other than Windows, you must ensure that other applications on your PC are updated such as Java, Flash Player, and if any application asked for the update, please do.

    Make sure, of course, install Anti-Malware software and update it.

    Run a full system scan with:
