We took at face value your cla im that your friend was hacking into peoples' computers. Now that you have admitted your story was a pack of lies, I will not t ake the matter further. However I cannot speak for others, and if someone else has called in t he police it will be *you* who is guilty of wasting police time for makin g up the story. I sincerely hope that you have learned a lesson about your behaviour o n this and other newsgroups. This thread will remain on Google, Yahoo, etc for future reference. and all those *"forums" that hack stuff from urg and pretend it is al l part of their forum. The point surely is that nobody now knows whether this is another of Crowe's lies? *He told us he had been present when someone had hacked into an urgler's computer and that he intended to find out how that is done. He's changing his story to pretend it's all some urban myth. *How do we know he's not lying to cover his back having been threatened with the police? *Why would a man who says now he barely knows how to turn on his computer, think that this group which is full of *very* computer-savvy people needs any kind of lesson in computer security from him? *Even his over-stuffed ego can't render him that stupid, surely? I do not believe this about-face. *One way or the other Crowe is lying or has lied and is playing his usual hand of "I did it it for your own good" or "you should read what I really wrote" etc. *We've seen this sort of thing from him dozens of times but this time, his desire to boast has got him into hot water. IMO, he did exactly what he said in the first place and now is pretending it's all some urban myth, using one of his favourite bugbears to do so, because a member of urg is consulting the police about it. * What kind of nutcase puts out a claim like that and then tells another that he hopes it's been a lesson to him on his computer's security?! *I think he's guilty as hell and that finally, his vainglorious boasting has turned on him and has potentially put him up to his neck in real trouble. -- -- Sachawww.hillhousenursery.com Shrubs & perennials. Tender & exotics. South Devon I am not computer savvy, it would be pointless pretending I was, I would be sussed out in a second. *However, I got my husband to read this thread; he says we are behind a firewall and we are safe but he has taken the post seriously and is to get advice on it from some real savvy computer people, I'll let you know the outcome as this is quite worrying. *We have a lot of financial matters on our computers; the thought of someone being able to ... well. *I have no doubt the claims made earlier will be pursued by someone as this is quite dangerous if it is true. Judith I have talked to my computer adviser about this and received his opinion and of course, I'm not going to disclose what he has said on here. *It seems that Fuschia, who has not yet posted today, intended to consult the police on the matter. *Whether he has or not, we don't know, obviously. *He may have decided to get a techie to check out his computer first. *Unfortunately for Crowe (who I see is now trying to accuse urg of aggression, which, *having told us he's watched someone hack into one of our computers and wants to learn the tricks himself, is just outrageous even by his standards!) his very unpleasant and boastful nature makes me think it all too likely that he'd enjoy learning how to get into others' computers and have some sort of 'hold' over them that he could then drop hints about. *Unfortunately for him, * his uncontrollable compulsion to brag means that this time he's shown his hand rather too openly and has got himself into potentially serious trouble if anyone detects a 'visitor' on their computer. -- -- Sachawww.hillhousenursery.com Shrubs & perennials.
