    What's your account name and password? I'll trade you a two color, ballpoint pen with a logo on it for it.

    I keep getting connections to my box from this bastard, at all sorts of ports. What can I do to find out where he is?

    His IP address is 127.0.0.1

    Any advice from Fyodor or the Slashdot community?

      See if you can make a CIFS/SMB connection to his box, try your username and password (He probably stole those too!) and then go crazy deleting stuff.

      Flood 127.134.232.121

      That always stops the 127.0.0.1 hacker
