The PROPER Vigilance

We now listen to a tale fo TRUE and LAWFUL vigilance, told to us from the killprobots forums.

We shall hide him under the name "don't kill me."

hey there...found your forums and i decided to share you a looong story of mine...hope hindi ka mabagot...here it goes:

Last quarter of 2004,nag laro ako one time sa isang shop sa manila noon, kakatapos lng ng shift ko, so umaga na yun, eh noob ako sa place ko nun, so im just trying out shops around the area... so i went into this one cozy shop, logged into my email... chat while naka vend mode merch ko, which was my main char... Pinili ko merch kasi un ung hindi masyadong nilalaro ng mga players, and I feel "noble and proud" when playing one... Kelangan mo ng matinding patience and determination sa paglalaro eh... Anyway, I decided magbababad ako since dayoff ko na eh... Mga 6am ako nag start tpos mga 1pm na ako natapos... Base level di ko tanda pero job tanda ko 1 nlng 50 na... So, bangag na ako and I decided to pay up, go home, eat n drink beer then sleep... Nagising na ako mga 9pm gabi... took a bath, and decided na maghanap ng ibang shop, ambagal kc ng PCs nung nilaruan ko earlier... So, asa shop na ako... ayan cge laro2x hapi2x... till bglng me lumabas "someone else has logged on using this ID"... since di ko pa nararanasang mahack, akala ko wala lang, cge login2x laro2x hapi2x... ayun... after 30 mins un nanaman... abah pota, nakaramdam na ako ng kaba, so login uli ako... agawan ng login till nkkita ng katabi ko na balisa na ako, sinabihan nya ako, "pre hinahack ka na mag forgot password ka.." so un nga ginawa ko, login sa mail, kuha password...login2x laro2x hapi2x....tpos ng mga 1 hr, nagulat nalang ako ng biglang ung "someone else has logged on using this ID" lumabas nanaman... forgot password nanaman ako, kaso di ko na maopen email ko gagong hacker yun... la na ako access sa email nor my ragna acct... napaisip ako... since nung that morning lang ako nakalaro ule ng ragna for almost 1 wk na pagkatigang, nagduda ako sa shop na un since un lng pinaglaruan ko... pinuntahan ko... pag pasok ko ung taga tingin ata un,
sinabihan ako na, "boss sarado na po kame sensya na po" (not exactly like this pero kinda like this), while his eyes went back to a peculiar dos-prompt like screenie. Nagduda ako baka keylogger un (i was aware of keyloggers then, but i wasnt aware of bots and botting). So, nilapitan ko sya, tapos tinanaong ko "ano po yan bossing?". Sabi nya "Bot yan sa ragna..". Medyo hindi ako naniwala. Tapos nun, I calmly explained to him what happened to me, and I asked him the question "gumagamit ba kayo ng keylogger dito?". To my surprise, he sounded a bit agitated and said "walang
nagkkeylogger dito, kung gusto mo tignan mo pa eh..". Having him bring up the idea, well I said "sige kung okey lang". From being panicky, he sounded angry and said "kung wala kang makita,anong gagawin ko sa yo ha?". I replied "Wala, kung wala akong makikita wala ka din gagawin saken...".
So, being a computer science graduate, I tried to do a search on his hard drive by date modified. Tinesting ko ung latest date modified. Pag bukas ko, un ung same DOS-like screenie kanina... And to my surprise... Aba, nakita ko buong name ko adun sa program na yun (w/c to my guess nilagay ko sa email since i use it for work). Nung nakita ko yung name ko, I asked him a sarcastic question, "ikaw ba si ?". Nagalit sya, tapos sinabi nya "PUTANG INA MO GAGO KA!PINAGBIBINTANGAN MO BA AKO HA? LUMAYAS KA NA DITO!"." I rest my case" sinabi ko nalang sa sarili ko, while inaawat sya ng asawa nya ata un or something... Tapos,biglang umalis yung guy, nilapitan ako nung babae and she was asking what going on. I told her my story, and while I was in the middle of it, biglang lumabas yung guy, armed with a 2x2 wood pile and was aiming for me! Inawat nanaman sya ng babae, tapos I ran for the door. Pumiglas yung guy and was running after me, I held on the door like there was no tomorrow... inawat nanaman sya, and it gave me a chance to run for the hallway and ran as faraway from the place... ikinuwento ko sa mga tropa ko,and they wanted to burn down the place, but I told them that ill settle it on my own, the legal way... So nagpabarangay ako and nagpapulis and all that... Eventually, the guy disappeared and what's worse is that the shop closed, all because of what happened to me (nalaman pala kasi n expired na yung permit since last2x year eh operating pa rin sila)...
Anyway,my point is, I know how it feels to be stuck in a rut so to speak, and I want you to konw that I'm with you in this war (kahit na gnun ngyri sken laro padin ako...)... Yun lng pizz out ciao!

To that wretched shop owner, unless you repent, you will see hell until you die, for which you will see hell even if you close your eyes.
