basically i had a fall out woith someone on another forum.

she has now (i have no idea how) found out a lot of details about me online including things ive bought online and all my passwords to forums and im getting creeped out.
how on earth does someone get all those details about me. like for example how did she find out about orders ive placed with online stores

Could've hacked into your computer. Do you have a firewall installed?

That IS really creepy. Do you have a firewall?

s i have firewall, i have no idea how she found things which is whats creepyest. the worst thing was when i found she was using a picture of ellie as her signature on a forum.

THAT is scary !!!! What type of forum was it ??? BTW , how is Ellie ????

That's really weird. It almost sounds like she put a keystroke logger on your computer. But I don't think she could do that remotely... especially with a firewall... Ick... I hope she lays off soon!

Thats the wonderful world of spyware, Get a adware and spyware blocker/detector, get a firewall and change all your passwords and info.

You'd be surprised. Firewalls aren't hard to hack (a few people I know online do it for fun just to see if they can) and keyloggers are definately not hard to get ahold of (though it's funny when someone who doesn't know what they're doing downloads one and it turns out to be a keylogger for their computer...).


She could've also taken the cookies from your jar (...ok folder, whatever) and found out the passwords that way. They're all stored in your cookies (hence why you don't have to re-login everytime you visit the forum).

I'm not sure how to do that though, but I'm fairly certain it's possible.

Yikes.... cyberspace can be dangerous sometimes . Don't worry much, but do take precautions and be careful.

Wow! That is creepy! You should change all of your passwords to something that's not a word, like: kahduaenbbj

I do that, like if I had the password "cltbhb" it would stand for "Charlie Likes To Bite His Butt".

But if she somehow found out...wow. Did you talk to her?
