account hackers

Yes, as I said, Telkom did submit the logs within a couple of days and the logs showed that my account was always accessed from the same location. That's how I knew it was someone inside my office using the account for personal purposes.

If the logs had shown that the account had been accessed from a different location, then I could have pursued a different avenue.
 
Your lucky! Telkom wouldn't tell me the location! Had to go the SAPS.. But the crime is not important in their eyes it would seem to me

Mmmm ... I may be mistaken, but I can't see how this would indicate any account hackers. I can't see a reaason they would be going through any of your local interfaces (including your PPP link), if they merely use your account info on their own DSL lines. However, if you compare the output with what's reported by SAIX or your ISP, then I believe you can easily correlate it and find anomalies.

Monitoring your local PPP traffic mayl, however, show you if someone is using your link on the sly (spyware, adware, other malware, hacked machine, etc).

Thats what I was talking about, Valerion. The postman probably means the same thing but isnt getting it across.

You can only use DU meter to check your local stats against the saix ones. And if DU says you are using a lot less, then you have been haxx0red. l33tspeak like its 1999.
 
Axxess is the greatest, I asked about 1st Novemeber, he siad nothing to worry about they are in battle with Telkom about it and says Telkom does not have a leg to stand on, if anything there might be only a slight increase or even decrease as to those big 30 gb accounts, thats where the problem might come in...
Axxess rules..
Telkom sux..
..and ADSL is da bom

kind Regards
Forward the march
 
If someone steals your bandwidth first change your password then go to the cops and lay a charge against Telkom. There is a procedure to follow but it isnt difficult. Someone used my account last week and up to today I have got SAIX who admit they have the persons details, phone number address etc, and will release it if a subpoena is served on them. I simply called the right people at SAPS and they should organise it all by next week for me. Now its simply laying a criminal charge against them and a civil case against them with my attorney.
If you need the procedure, names in SAPS and SAIX to contact for this just PM me.
Lets bust some of these assholes balls!
 
If you get that right please let me know! I did the exact same thing.. I even had the subpoena in my hands! all the SAPS had to do was issue it to telkom.. BWHAHAHAH.. that was 3 months ago and nobody can tell me WTF is going on or who is now handling my case
 
Guys - the best way to protect your account is CHANGE YOUR ROUTER password (if you use one). People scan IPs on the ADSL range and attempt to login to routers and pickup account details from the actual routers - its dead easy. Most of the routers have "default" usernames and passwords, like 'admin', 'admin'. As a lot of people signed up for the Telkom router, a lot of users even have the same router.

After changing your router password, change your account password with your ISP. That should do it.
 
I change my router password weekly... They still got me, further more my passwords are usually 12 chars long and contain alpha and numerical characters.. I was still hit for 2.5 gigs in 24 hours
 
wow. That's a stinker. Prob being hacked on a Telkom level then
 
Which is why I am not surprised that my subpeone disappeared and nobody can tell me what is going on. I was lucky that while it was done on the 2nd of the month, and it screwed up everything I had planned for the month on my website, There was somebody who really wanted me to upload the data I had.. They gave me their spare 3 gig account to use for the month.

However that is not the point, Point is SAPS and Telkom just didn't wanna do anything about it after the subpeona was issued and has now disappeared
 
Does anybody use SAOL, do they give you your bandwith stats like Axxess?
 
My opinion would be, that they don't have the knowledge and knowhow to do anything about it...
Remember this is SA!!!!

No kidding.. You know how long it took me to explain to the Charge Officer at the SAPS office, that I wanted to lay a charge against telkom to release information of a hacker?

SAPS: Where was the scene of the crime?
Me: If I knew that I wouldn't be here would I?
SAPS: How do you know there was a crime then.
Me: Because I had so much bandwidth, Now its gone. Telkom say they know who did it.
SAPS: So when did you loose this bandwidth, *Was you at home or *was you somewhere else.. Did they break into *you house or steal it from you while you *was walking, I cant do this without a scene of the crime.
Me: Blank face... Your kidding me right!
etc for 45 min!


* no... those *was not typo's :D

Don't you just love our country!!!!
 
Telkom personnel also have access to the passwords, let alone it being hacked (pretty insecure loggins). I once requested all details on the e-mails, and hey presto got that with the passwords that I changed. So much for password security...

AKN is tipped to be the next CEO of Telkom
 
I'm starting to think there is something more going on here than meets the eye, a friend of mine was robbed of 2.5gb in two days, just heard now...
More and more complaints regarding this....
