What is the possibility of someone listening in on my Skype calls? - GoFuckYourself.com

VegasGirl1 · 02-11-2007, 05:57 AM

I recieved a Skype voice over IP phone for Christmas from an ex. Suddenly it seems he has a window into my world..

Is it possible that he is able to listen in or track my calls somehow, and if so how do I detect this?

reynold · 02-11-2007, 05:58 AM

It's extremely unlikely. Is he very tech-savvy? Does he have access to your Skype account?

VegasGirl1 · 02-11-2007, 06:00 AM

He is a tech wizard.. and he set up the account for me, and I changed the password when I installed it.

Emil · 02-11-2007, 06:13 AM

There was some bug in Skype not too long ago. It was possible to "spy" on a skype-user. I don't really know what they could see or if they could listen to your calls.

Emil · 02-11-2007, 06:16 AM

If someone know your username & pass. They can login on another computer at the same time you're logged in. And they will see every chat msg. you send and receive.

(Don't know if it's working with the newest version)

quantum-x · 02-11-2007, 06:23 AM

The encryption Skype uses is intense.
Look for things closer to home, ie keyloggers.

VegasGirl1 · 02-11-2007, 06:27 AM

I have run every spyware and virus scan that I can think of and they find nothing .. I made that password particularly difficult on purpose..

but I don't really think that his inside info is from psychic powers.. we don't live in the same state or even associate with the same people so how else could he know specifics of my private conversation...

Virus checkers probably won't pick up most keyloggers, they're usually custom - or hardware, attached to your box somewhere.

Simple solution is to make a new skype account, and if he becomes privy to that information, you know that your box or physical environment has been compromised.

VegasGirl1 · 02-11-2007, 07:40 AM

So what about this one.. looks like it or something like it would do it

Maybe he's already trying it on you.

woj · 02-11-2007, 10:53 AM

If he is tech sevy, good chance he set something up to monitor your conversations, it's not exactly hard to setup a keylogger on your computer...

any doubts?

tranza · 02-11-2007, 11:06 AM

I don't think so....

VegasGirl1 · 02-11-2007, 12:40 PM

I don't know but this guy is nuts at this point. Last night he posted this to a myspace blog

begin copy:

On Partner Poaching and the Irrepressible Urge to Beat Some Ignorant Fuck to a Pulp
Current mood: irritated

Recently I was rather rudely reminded that there are assholes in this world who will try to worm their way into your relationship with the one you love and steal them away. "Whether short-term or long-term, unwelcome or solicited, mate poaching typically involves an intricate web of social deception, interpersonal conflict, and intense emotionality ..."

Ugh. That just sounds like a lot of D-R-A-M-A. If you're like me, you'll want to recognize it right away and take immediate, decisive action ... before matters get completely out of hand.

Concerned some sneaky, lying fuck might be trying to seduce the one you love? Here's an awesome study that shows many of the cheap pyschological tricks these clowns use to drive a wedge between you and your mate. The most common include: developing emotional closeness, denigrating your commitment to your partner, demonstrating resources, and even the seemingly innocuous tactic of just being generous. Be careful when confronting these manipulative little cockroaches. Remember, they're trying to drive a WEDGE.

Sadly, there's no well-researched scientific paper offering a solution.

Here's my idea, and I welcome your feedback: If I even suspect some jackoff is trying to fuck with the woman I love, I'll mash his goddamn brains in with a baseball bat. It's messy, of course, and there's always the problem of disposing of the body. But let me tell you friend, there's nothing better than repeatedly and forcefully applying the business end of a 36 oz Louisville Slugger to the temples of some sorry little prick to bring all that silliness to a sudden and VERY DRAMATIC end. How many licks do you think it'll take to get to the center of THAT Tootsie-Pop? I played baseball in college, and I'm willing to wager it'll only take 1 hit. The next 20 or so will only be to insure that not even his dentist can identify the puree.

On a related note, I have a little trip planned and I wonder, will a 6 foot corpse with (more than) a little extra padding fit into the trunk of a CTS? It's hard to believe what passes for a midsize at the rental counter these days and really, I don't want to have to hack off limbs just to squeeze the worthless pile of shit in.

As always, your comments are welcome.

end copy

and while I was on the phone with the cops, he deleted it.. and after careful review of how little the PD gives a shit, he has now re-posted it.

He is obviously pissed that I have a friend coming to visit...

But that is a different issue all together.

The new evidence would be that at soon as I was on the phone with the cops he deleted it .. he knew.

VegasGirl1 · 02-11-2007, 12:59 PM

I heard something about a 'packet sniffer' that can detect all the info going out from my computer..

is this a good way to catch a particularly sneaky spy?

UKJack · 02-11-2007, 01:03 PM

it is extremely easy to listen to voip calls I have done so on many occations (just for fun though) If you want to prevent this from happening do not use a wireless router and make sure the phone is not wireless.

if someone is doing this to you chances are he is using cain http://www.oxid.it/cain.html

as it the easiest program to use for voip interception.
If you want to find out for sure speak to a friend using voip and talk a load of shit make it sound real though and if he comes back to you with that info then you will know for sure

Funny, he did set me up with the wireless router and wireless phone..

Thank you for the answer, this one is absolutely his style and fits like a glove..

So I guess I should wipe my computer clean and reload it all.. and lose the skype phone. Any other suggestions?

Rhesus · 02-11-2007, 03:02 PM

You said your guy is living in another state? The wireless range doesn't cross state borders, you know

OzMan · 02-11-2007, 03:25 PM

Can I ask the obvious questions...

Why would you accept a gift of this nature from an ex or were you dating at the time?

Why do you maintain ANY contact with him at all since he seems clearly obsessive to the point of being criminally psychotic?

EscortBiz · 02-11-2007, 03:55 PM

easiest phones to bug, bugging became very easy in the past few years take the phone throw it in trash get a brand new account and everything, rmember the F B I uses this tactic to avoid warrants they give phones to drug dealers its their phones they can do whatever, just like when they setup busts in hotel rooms where they are the room owner for the day they dont need permission to CCTV up that fuckers

Dont take cell phone gifts, laptop gifts dont do it,

Great point, and I I'll avoid him in the future.. He called a minute ago and I think I left nothing to the imagination when I told him that I would kill him dead with my 40/Beretta if he came here.. and I could not resist asking just how many hollow-points it takes to get to the center of a tootsie pop.. also advised this is unforgivable..

indeed sometimes I learn my lessons the hard way but I am not and never have been the kind of girl to sit still for a whole lot of this..

anyway thanks...

RawAlex · 02-11-2007, 07:05 PM

Umm, Vegasgirl1, I would recommend that you contact the authorities. At this point, based on what he is posting online, he has intent to do harm to someone.

At this point, he sounds like a danger to himself and others.

There is a program called spector pro. It's great, nothing detects it. I don't sell it. Maybe I should check for an affiliate program.

You need to format you computer. They also have a program called Eblaster and it wont be detected either. Will email him all your chats.

If he is really a wiz you've been had you need to format.

Nicolette · 02-11-2007, 10:47 PM

one of my girlfriends was being monitored by her x. he also is 'very tech savvy'. he was aware of every keystroke she made. a close friend of ours helped her out so the x could no longer get away with it.
good luck!
