I agree: I'd be formatting the machine and putting it on sale or eBay and then I'd buy a new machine. Nothing illegal here.
Now if he's in trouble simply because he works in the security field, this is a bit concerning. The lawyer advice is the sound one: fight legally the system and bring this to court if the attacker did anything illegal.
Of course you have to laugh hard at the mediocrity of the second part of the "attack": directly contacting servers which can be reverse-looked up. Doh!
But it still begs the question as to how his computer got owned in the first place.

- sanswork 14y agoI'd say imaginary myself. I'm curious what the systems were that were obviously csis systems. He failed to include any logs or information beyond his claims.
- coldtea 14y agoFailed implies he tried. He didn't try. He just told the story. People seem to know the guy. I'm not sure this is "imaginary" at all.
- sanswork 14y agoThe problem is you have a person who constantly has more and more amazing stories like this that he pushes everywhere with no proof. Logs or the hostnames or anything is pretty simple proof but require work to make up beyond a story. He put so much effort into detailing it why leave them out? That is why I want to see some sort of proof before I just believe his claims.
