Ok I'll explain in details I got an email from a friend showing me some conversation I had using the email of microsoft entourage 2004 and while using msn, exactly the same conversation time stamped as I had them 3 days ago! In addition some picture I just downloaded from my digital camera 3 days ago! These picture where stored in a folder on my desktop, all my firewalls are running, except for file sharing since I use 2 macs simultaneously, the mails were sent from my laptop, the msn conversation were done on my laptop, and the picture were on my other computer which is a desktop, the laptop runs osx 10.3.6 and the desktop 10.3.7 The files are still with me in the same folder, but apparently they have been copied by some one who hacked into the system, I am not on a network, I use modem dial up to connect, I'm almost sure that the intruder was from Copenhagen Denmark, I reside in Beirut Lebanon! Well thanks anyone who can provide me with any help. Regards Ray >> Hello everyone, >> Is there a way to track some hackers infiltration on my system?
