Someone from this site hacked into my computer.
-
As the title states someone from this site hacked into my computer. I do not remember their username but they sent me a message and basically attempted to pick a fight with me. I will admit I should have responded better but I did not and then over the next few days I did not log into my laptop much but when I did I noticed that files were disappearing and a lot of personal pictures were deleted. What pisses me off most is this loser has my Amazon receipts, passwords, documents from my classes, emails, videos, etc.
First I know I did not delete them, secondly no one has access to my laptop besides me, so it had to have been the user who messaged me on here acting like an idiot.
So now I am wondering is there anyway I can I don't know reset my laptop to an earlier time that will actually work??? Because I tried an earlier system restore and that did nothing. I got some stupid error message. I do not know what would provoke someone to do something like that but honestly it is sad. Hopefully that person gets what is coming to them because karma is a bitch.
Does anyone know of anyway I can find out who did this? An app I can download to reveal an IP address or something? I want to nail this fucker to the wall.

**Let me asked you have you changed all your passwords? If not change them immediately, especially the one that logs you into you computer, as well as this site, your back, credit cards, and all other sites that you have an account with that you log into with a password.
Did you call the local police department and report the crime? In some cases someone accessing your computer without permission can be a federal crime. Gather all information and have it ready for them. If your police department does not have a cyber crime division then you can contact the FBI Cyber Crime division, but I believe you are in Australia so you would contact AFP (Australian Federal Police).**
**How do you know that it was someone from this site? Did this person email you directly, not through PM on this site? If he contacted you through gaytorrent.ru's PM, then I do not believe it would be this person.
There are ways to track the IP address of the person that is hacking your computer by a few different programs, you may want to check the internet for the one that you are looking for and works for you. Even if you do get an IP address it does not mean you have the correct address to the hacker, an experience hacker knows how to cover their tracks. **

I see no way for a user from our website to gain access to your computer. Passing PMs back and forth will not divulge any information necessary to hack into your computer or IP.
What is more likely to be a source of access to your computer is visiting unknown sites or opening/clicking on e-mail or websites that allows implantation of a virus, trojan, worm or other executable program. This may have occurred PRIOR to your interaction with another GT.ru user. They can sit in your computer and become activated later, depending on what type of intrusion tool was utilized.
Do you use anti-viral/anti-intrusion program to protect you from these more common sources of intrusion. If not, install one and run it through your system, it may identify the source of intrusion that you refer to as having been hacked.
