God I truely would love to see hackers getting hacked. I got hacked from a location of about 5 miles away from my home.found out that my computer was full of malware which cost me two hundred dollars to have it removed last month. The incident was actually brought to my attention by google. They informed that my email account had been hacked. I needed to go on my google account and get reverified and make a new password. Needless to say I was none to happy. And nothing was done about the hacker. Lol you just got to love that. Right?
I feel for you, Sid. I had one of my websites hacked 3 times because of the terrible server security by the web host.
