Re: IP Address Spoofing
« on: May 06, 2019, 01:38:54 am »
I have only one computer. I have no cell phone. I have no wireless anything. I checked that I had no other browser open to my forum on May 1, 2019 at the time the hacker spoofed my IP address. It was a hacker trying to get into the forum. I know this because I was not even logged in to the forum when the "Guest" arrived minutes before I did.


I have reported the spoofer to Norton, as well. I have Norton Internet Security and a lousy sense of humor.



The hacker will have his hands full because I now have Norton's VPN running. My IP address is dynamic and my ISP uses a proxy server.


That won't stop the hackers from trying to mess up my forum, however. Today they locked my "Hydrocarbon Crooks Evil Actions" Topic. Now only Admins can post there (There is no way available way for an Admin to unlock a locked thread, as I have vented about here before).


I have done nothing to lock the topic, but this showed up when I made a reply today: Warning: topic is currently/will be locked! Only Admins and moderators can reply.

I quickly split the topic to a new "unlocked" topic thread and told the anonymous hacker that I would do that again and again, no matter how much trouble he would try to cause.


Here is an example of the "fun and games" I am being visted with:


Look at the two images below (that are there but DO NOT SHOW):









This is the code for the two images (without the formatting):

Those images showed a Giant Tick/rig with Exxon written on it on planet Earth and the Caption: " Frack this Planet, We ain't done Yet!" The moon is shown shedding a tear in one and the other has a closeup of Earth.

I have backups of most of my images but, sadly, not these two.

I just noticed when modifying this post that I can "copy image address" of the images that don't display. The first one has this address:

https://support.createaforum.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.createaforum.com%2Fgallery%2Frenewablerevolution%2F3-031014141830.png&hash=a54d8a71cca0f382d208c868ad5148ab

The second one has this address:
https://support.createaforum.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Frenewablerevolution.createaforum.com%2Fgallery%2Frenewablerevolution%2F3-031014020143.png&hash=cc2201639894f9d0f9606a97d9bc2bf1

My gallery is being steadily hacked so the images won't show that criticize the Fossil Fuel Insdustry. NONE of the other images have ever been hacked, so you know who is doing the dirty work there. I have 1,775 images in the gallery. They occupy 23 pages. BUT, when you get to page 16, NO MORE IMAGES SHOW!


Can you help recover all these images? It gets old having to search for images in my computer to create a new image of. I do the best I can to keep up with the hacker(s), but old posts with said images that they hacked no longer have the impact they had, thanks to the hackers. I post on disqus many images and the hackers are steadily making my posts incoherent because the image is often used as a reference.

I have resorted to creating new images in the Admin area so, hopefully, the hacker cannot get to them. Nevertheless, I would love to recover all the images in my gallery that no longer show AND make the gallery hacker proof as well.


I want people to see and use those images for the good of humanity. We are in an Existential Catastrophic Climate Change Crisis and every bit of truth that challenges the biosphere destroying dirty energy status quo is important and necessary.


Please HELP! Greta Thunberg would agree!
