MacBook pro hacked - do not roll your eyes. It's true.

Y'all been postin in a troll thread!!

Okay, if you want to be serious, get down to it then.

Hire an international expert. Anybody who has recovered hard drives. Anybody who actually has experience.

Now, they'll tell you that for a disk to be readable, it has to be formatted. Just having a piece of metal is worthless. To format the drive, files have to be written.


If you're viewing the files, you should know the names of them. Tell us a few names.


Next, if you really want a solution, just go buy yourself a new hard drive. How much is that?

Also, you can just turn off Airport. Unless if the hackers turn it back on.
Then you can just unplug your modem.
If the hackers turn your modem on, you have a serious problem. That's when you call 911.


Just my few thoughts.

i am Steve Jobs and i approve this post!

seriously.....

EDIT: also, OP is a loser, who doesn't have a mac, and is clearly jealous.

Curious... which SSDs failed? I'm looking into them and appreciate knowing which ones haven't been reliable.

I have a 250 GB OCZ Vertex as stated in my sig. I noticed it seemed like people were reporting a higher # of failures with the 250 GB series. It sounds like the 120, 60, and 30 GB models are pretty normal in terms of failure. OCZ was fairly good about the replacements(they ship out a new drive directly from the manufacturing plant.) The only thing was they made me pay for shipping it to Cali.

The first generation Intel SSD's seemed fine but I've heard of a lot of issues with the second generation of intels.(the silver models also called G2)

@Kristenn When your computer has been taken over before your very eyes, get back to me. This topic won't seem so "fishy". Get over yourself.

How am I on myself?

How is your computer being "taken over?" Because the computer has files on drive before you or the OS install disk puts them there?

This explains why my 250 GB HD is 249 GB in SL and 232 in Leopard. Its the freaking EFI, isn't it? Or something like that?

Besides. Can't you take a joke?

It's left here for our entertainment. Aren't you entertained?

What I'm curious about is his title of "Guest"

Strange. It was "Newbie" when this thread started.

Isn't OCZ in Cali? Fremont specifically? So shouldn't they just ship you a new drive from their headquarters?

 

[Prospekt]

I think that we are all part of the group who is hacking you and thats why you don't believe that those files are necessary.

 

[Joey2250]

"I dont want to install OSX Till the hackers are gone!" LOL

I have to confess, I am hacking you right now through the BS:// protocol over the FUwireless optical network.

I AM IN YUR COMPUTERZ!

...

The discrepancy in reporting file, folder and HDD sizes between Leopard (10.5) and Snow Leopard (10.6),
is that 10.5 uses the base 2 to report file sizes, so 250.000.000.000 bytes are reported as 232GB (250*10^9/1024/1024/1024 - 1024 = 2^10),
10.6 uses the base 10 to report file sizes, ergo 250.000.000.000 bytes are reported as 250GB (but are actually 232GiB - GiB = GibiBytes).

To the trolly OP: Yes, you have been hacked. But since you're the only and first one til now, no one has interest in making it public to have been the first to hack a Unix system. Expect to hear more about this when it is widespread, say 2 or more users.

 

[Hmac]

Yes, troll. He's been banned here before.

Can I take my tin foil hat off yet?

 

[logimech]

Apple "genius" advised I zero it out, which I did on both the Macintosh HD volume as well as the internal HDD. Since then, not one single apple tech rep nor local mac expert nor retail store rep an answer this: why, after zero out, 7 pass, are there still 3 folders and 2 files occupying over 221 MB on my hard drive?? Help!! No one has been able to answer this thus far.

Lol funniest thread ever. Don't take it personally but you are a supernoob (evidenced by your need to defer to a Mac "Genius"). It's ok though, the vast majority of people are. You clearly have no understanding of "hacking" and believe what you see in movies.

Your computer is fine.

There has been a serious lack of comedy around here lately, but I've enjoyed this thread.

Presuming the OP was serious, I wonder how many hours he wasted on this?


Mooch
