Call from IC3! ='(

[Maurice Moss]

My mom got a call from the IC3 (Internet Crime Complaint Center) and they're saying that I attacked other websites. I've never done such a thing. The closest thing I've ever done to hacking was using a mani admin takeover in HL2M.

Someone please help me out here...

Having three years experience in internet security I would say do not worry about that.

[Maurice Moss]

Well, that's a good thing.

Thanks for keeping me from worrying.

You were right, it turned out to be a phish.

[BRSteven]

Wow that was it a call? What were they trying to achieve a warning?

[Maurice Moss]

They said I was hacking websites and attacking users, and they said they were going to send me a paper in the mail. So, they have my name, my phone number, and my address.

Sounds like some one grabbed your ISP and reported you to IC3.
I wouldn't worry about crap.... Unless they have any proof, then you still don't really need to do anything. I've only got fudged by IC3 once, and that was for a 3k botnet.

Don't worry bro!

It was only a phish? That's lucky, if you are an American I wouldn't want to be against the FBI :-P

Most likely someone is messing with you.
You have nothing to worry about.

[Omniscient]

First thing you should do is confirm it was actually from the FBI.

It was just a phish, Omni. My parents called the cable company and my domain registrar (hostway) and they said there was no reports. And the phone number they left was a 964 number (iraq). So it was definitely a phish.
