I think I got hacked.... help.... - GoFuckYourself.com

Dwreck · 01-10-2011, 10:58 AM

I was working from a Cafe last night and I think someone one got into my system. Can you please take your best guess and offer and suggestions.

1. Tried to goto gmail Safari can?t open the page.
Too many redirects occurred trying to open ?https://mail.google.com/mail/?shva=1?. This might occur if you open a page that is redirected to open another page which then is redirected to open the original page.

2. My date and time was set back when I logged in this morning.

3. I got this weird prompt asking me to grant someone access

4. I cant open google gmail on chrome but works in firefox.

5. I cant load up my msn messanger I get a certificate issue.

What do you think is wrong.. I have cleared out all my browsing history. I'm on a Mac.

have you tried to restart google?

Davy · 01-10-2011, 11:15 AM

Probably somebody spying on you with the Firefox plugin...

PAR · 01-10-2011, 11:22 AM

See FB message for fix..
and remember you can always sell your Mac on Ebay and get a PC.. lol

Deej · 01-10-2011, 11:31 AM

System restore ... oh wait

potter · 01-10-2011, 11:32 AM

First open Applications>Utilities>Network Utility

In Info, Select the network you are on from the drop list. Then there should be a button to renew your dhcp or something?? Try that and see if it works.

If not restart, and see if that works.

If that fails, then call Apple support. If you've never dealt with Apple support you'll be very pleased. One of the best support companies in the world. ;)

2MuchMark · 01-10-2011, 11:34 AM

Hi Dwreck,

Don't sell your Mac. Trust me you have a great machine. I've been a PC guy my whole life and trust me Mac's KICK ASS. PC's are awful.

Do this :

First, reboot your machine if you haven't already done so.

Go into your System Preferences and check your network settings. Click on DNS and make sure that the DNS Server listed is the same as your ISP, or if you are using an Apple's Wireless router, that it is set to local (usually 10.0.1.1). Your machine may have somehow had its DNS changed so that any site you try to surf to resolves to a different IP address, hijacking your machine. Once you set it close your browsers and try again, and this should fix your problem.

If that fails call Apple. Support is GOOD and FAST (Like my Mom!).

CamTraffic · 01-10-2011, 11:43 AM

get a PC

BestXXXPorn · 01-10-2011, 12:12 PM

Check DNS settings (as described above)

Next try...

Applications -> Utilities -> Activity Monitor

Check for any sketchy processes running and quit them if necessary...

Applications -> Utilities -> Console

Check for any bizarre log entries

Failing that...

Applications-> Utilities -> Terminal

ps aux

Will give you a full and complete list of processes that are running... you can kill off any odd stuff by using

sudo kill -9 PID [PID] [PID] [PID]

PID is/are the process ID(s)

That being said, wait till your logic board dies 1 week after the warranty expires and Apple wants $1,800 for just the logic board on a 2 year old laptop... Even used you're looking at over a grand...

I will never buy another apple laptop again...

EDIT: ALSO... Check your hosts file in case something is rewriting everything... from Terminal type:

vi /etc/hosts

Not sure if you're familiar with vi but you can at least take a look at it...

"i" for insert mode
"esc" for exiting insert mode
":q" for quit
":wq" for write/quit

Good luck!

And?

There are more security holes in most *nix systems than there are in Windows... particularly dependent on what libs and services you have running. AND there's that whole part about security patches taking longer for open source than closed source ;) Microsoft has to react REALLY fast to anything because it's so widely used and by so many major corporations... Open source patches can often times take weeks, even months... That's why you need a solid admin who keeps up on everything and can take a look at patch files and determine if they do indeed work... then apply them and recompile ;)

All malware. The user must install these programs. Try again.

Yeah, I'm sure there are loads of people who have access to OSX's unpublished vulnerabilities list that hang out in starbucks and test people's systems. You know there are unpublished vulnerabilities for every single operating system, and even every piece of software ever created? Are you some how implying differently?

Like I said. I guarantee he didn't get hacked. GUARANTEE!

pristine · 01-10-2011, 03:49 PM

you didn't get hacked, turns out you're just retarded.

Hey Mark,

Thanks for the confidence booster about Mac products. How do I check if the dns server is the same as my isp? The way you explain whats going on is whats is happening to my my machine.

I will call apply support tonight.

Even if no one has messed with his specific machine it's still possible that there's some man in the middle stuff going on, or even just something simple like someone capturing logins and taking over his various remote accounts. (I'm assuming "from a cafe" equals "open wireless")

TheDoc · 01-10-2011, 06:43 PM

Flush the dns cache: dscacheutil -flushcache

The OS makes no difference if you can get hacked or a virus, period. Every OS has exploits, and if it's an open network and the right person is watching, any machine can be breached.

If a machine has an IP address, it is hackable.

It took me less than a minute to list all that. I know for a fact apple lets known vulnerabilities go unpatched for a very long time.

Microsoft is notoriously SLOW in releasing patches. Open source on a whole is patched a lot quicker than closed source. Being open, anyone can write a patch and get it out while Microsoft will take it's sweet time. Plus they normally distribute patches on Patch Tuesdays, leaving you vulnerable until that happens.

Your whole post was nothing but FUD.
