I really don't know what else I can do to clear my name from this.
I really do like Navigraph, they have a great product and great support, and I fully support cracking down hard on pirates - but I did all I could! I'm the only geek I know that is into flight simulation, I'm known as Paramedic at / since '04, with 3,600+ posts, and always have been against piracy in all its forms.
I don't even know how to share a file, the only file sharing program I ever used was Napster, and I think it was in 98 or something. While I fully support any company to enforce their intellectual property, I think I have given every proof I can to clear my name from this.įrom day one, I gave them my full and complete personal information, address, phone number, Paypal address, filed a police report, all things hackers do. There is no way I would put such a rewarding career on the line for something like that. I have been proudly serving as an EMT-Paramedic for the last five years, and have worked in the security and loss prevention field for years before that. What it all comes down to is, because someone hacked me, they took my money. The Windows remote access was used to access the Navigraph data, and a number of private documents. It was an oversight that has now been corrected. Anyone who had the hostname, and ran a simple dictionary attack, could gain access to my system. I also had a system password that was an English dictionary word. This time, unfortunately, my software was not properly configured to block the attempt, and the hacker got access to my system.Īt that time, I had a remote connection hostname on my poorly configured, very basic web server. This time, they used an anonymous proxy located in the Republic of Moldova, IP. It worked, and the hacker did not gain access.Īt or around 08:49EST, another attempt to enable remote access on my computer was made, presumably by the same person or group. My firewall was, at that time, configured to block incoming connections from the Tor network. That address is a Tor network exit node, and is named.
On February 6, 2014, at or around 08:37EST, an attempt to circumvent the remote access protections of my computer was made by a hacker, using the IP. After 12 days, after at least 6 hours on the phone, reading through countless forums and some tech-savvy friends, I figured it all out. A lot of back-and-forth with my ISP ensued, and I dug through my computer for hours trying to find what the heck had happened. I replied to them, and they replied back that since they have a digital watermark on the files, they know it's mine. Since I didn't share it and quite frankly don't even know how, I was surprised. So, 2 days after the cycle 1402 came out, I get a message from Navigraph telling me that I shared my copy of the 1402 cycle, and that they suspended my account and kept my money (1401-1413 subscription).
