Help Needed - Privacy Breach from Another Forum

Recommended Posts

Hey guys.

I am hoping someone here can give me some advice.

A herbal incense manufacturer has just posted my personal information online on another forum. He has posted my full name. I have a very unique surname and there is only the one of me here in Australia. I am a business owner and well known athlete who has just been defamed and libeled.

I have contacted the Admin and owner of the forum and asked for the offending information to be removed but haven't had a response.

What legal action can I take against this person? I live with a Lawyer so get free legal :)

Any advice will be much appreciated.

Thanks.

BF

Don't you just hold ctrl or alt and press printscreen button then open paint and go paste

That's how I do it anyway doesn't have anything to do with the browser you can do it at any time

Wat the hell happened why did that info get posted on the forums?

Thanks for that. I tried it but it didn't work. I am not the best with computers.

The ironic thing is that the member he thinks he is calling out isn't even me. I was banned last week because I spoke the truth. I agree with you mate, the guy is not very smart.

Can you please snap the screenshot for of page 4 of that thread Bush Turkey? I'd be very appreciative.

Bread Filter, it should be pretty easy to take a screenshot.

Best of luck with it all, hopefully the thread does not gain much attention.

 

Thanks Khala, very much appreciated. The only problem is that I don't have paint or word or much else!

To capture a screen shot, I press 'fn and prt sc' , then type 'paint' in the start menu, go to paint, tap 'paste' and 'paste' again...and the screen shot comes up.

Good luck dude.

I'm sorry to hear that man, that's really fucked up.

Do you know why it's posted? Is it just your info?

*Edit: I can understand if you don't want to post a reply to this. I won't feel bad if you ignore it :P

The Vendor and Manufacturer of the incense product in question has gone very paranoid and thinks that everyone posting on the forum is me. I was actually banned last week so can't post anymore. I got an email from a mate this morning telling me it had happened.

It is still up there. It has been reported to the site Admin multiple times yet it is still there hours later.

Get the full url before he cleans it up to try and cover his tracks.

That's just not acceptable anywhere.

The bots will have it by now, I'd sue.

What a fucking goats arse.

What does that mean? Also what do you mean by get the URL? Do you mean the link to the page?

The Vendor just shut down their website so I assume he causing as much trouble as he can before running away. It wasn't even me that was winding him up. He just assumed some other guy was me and unleashed my personal details.

Google, yahoo and other search engines index and cache results from web pages which they crawl around/through. It can then be picked up by Google search or even cached pages if they're deleted/removed/modified
