I am being spammed by an email with Nassau Weekly Newsletter. Inside the emails are these pics and when they fetch the pic, your email is in the URL so they verify your email address. When I google Nassau Weekly Newsletter, I get this website:

www.nassau-weekly.info

Does anyone know them, or get this same spam?

You're not talking about Nassau Info, are you? I get that and the Grand Bahama Info newsletters, and they're pretty good.

I've never gotten Nassau Weekly

Can you unsubscribe?

I am afraid to click in case an IP address is harvested as well. At one point the Bloggy Boyz were under investigation by the police and a law firm when they wanted to sue us.

I believe they're run by the same guy that runs the tourism newspaper.

Thanx, then they must be harmless. I'll send them an email to unsubscribe.

Set to read email in plain text, dont let it open images automatically, and then just ignore it, it will go away eventually once it doesnt get a confirmation. .. or at least it should. ;)

Unless I specifically remember clicking on a button/link and entering my email to subscribe to an email list, I wont go near the website myself.

I get these e-mails as well. I don't know how i came to be on the list. I just hit delete. Just cleaned my puter for viruses. Not into strange stuff so I hit delete.

AHA.....
So, THAT is how youn know much about everyone. You know how to double check IPs and you track people. You know how to do it.

Lurker, isn't that an invasion of privacy!?!?

I think hacking someone's account is illegal...isn't it?

You can only track people through their IP address if:

a) You own the site they are using and have access to log files
b) Their IP address never changes (probably less than 5% of net users)

You can't, however, find out:

Who they are, where else they visit, their mailing address, their email address, their bank account details or the name of their first cousin's grandmother... or in fact anything other than the ISP they use and an approximate geo-location.

No. If someone is on your property (i.e. a website owned by you) then you have every right to watch their path by tracking which pages are requested by their IP. In fact its pretty much vital information for any website owner.

Who mentioned hacking anyone's account?

Oh, you did.

Why exactly?

I can't believe you actually fell for Alien's little provocation...

Nope, just stemming his endless tide of misinformation. Others on the forum may think the stuff he's talking about is possible. Hopefully my post will let them know its not.

actually you can also find out their web browser and OS, and some other minor software details (though they could change that), but yep unless you are the ISP or the ISP gives you info, they cant track them otherwise ...

also, on forums and other venues, you dont need access to the site's logs to get user's IP addresses and Browser Agent info, if one really wants to. I know you know that, just clarifying it so Alien knows we still tracking him .. LOL .. no just joking .. he isnt worth anyone's time ;)

Well, it is easier to track/monitor someone on this forum than most know.

See all those links to articles which are posted sometimes? Just go phishing.

Most people don't look up into the address bar after they click on a link to read the articles. All that one needs to do is create a clone of the selected page from the Nassau Guardian or whatever website is of interest and simply embed one of the many exploits (which are easily found on script sites out there) in the code.

Most users have not updated their browser, antivirus or antimalware (if they have it) software or completed all windows updates.

Once the backdoor is set, their pc is all yours and you can do as you please - including ejecting the CD/DVDROM drive as you please and displaying across the screen:

FEED ME...

Or you can insert a logic bomb in the system that when they type a certain phrase, a popup appears and says:

IF YOU TYPE THAT PHRASE ONE MORE TIME...

It is easy people. This is the internet and GEEKS rule. So BOW...no, not really...well...maybe.

I'm retired tho...sorta
