Well that would be kinda hard comsidering most hackers surf anon. So getting the IP addie would be nearly impossible unless you are dealing with a hacker who isn't the brightest crayon in the box..

I'll email you some suggestions on how to lock them out if you'd like..

Call your Internet provider and ask them what you could do.

A few years ago I had a hacker in my computer as well and didn't know what to do and I called my Internet provider and they had me download this tool from them that got rid of the hacker and blocked him completly and prevented other possible hackers. Worked like a charm and never had that problem after.

I hope this doesn't come across as rude... but

Phishers and hackers are different..

a very short explanation here

Phishers are after your personal info for fraud.. to use your identity etc.. and they get the info from sending you email claiming they are from a certain website or whatever and your account has been compromised..
Tht's why they are called Phishers due to the fact they are phishin for info..


Hackers are not usually interested in such a simple task.. They are to busy shutting down websites.. etc..


OK so what...


I'm a Computer geek/merd/tech

It's what I do for a living..

Unplug your internet connection when not in use. It helps.
