[QUOTE="flowerbee, post: 1273371, member: 209172"] I've searched the forums and couldn't find the answer I was looking for....newbie here and hope someone might have some advice! I have a pro hacker, bigtime Defcon guy, knows all the in and outs of security, pen testing, hacking password cracking etc. who consistently tries to access my computer. It started with a google redirect virus then a router hijack and dos attack then credit cards stolen etc. etc. I'm now using Airport, WPA 2 and blocking my IP through an Open VPN service. Firewall is on in Stealth mode. I regularly use Clam Xav and I am using Safari as my browser with all of the secure settings. Any advice on what else I can do to secure my mac? I know Macs are pretty touch to crack, but I am dealing with a persistent hacker with alot of knowledge. Also wondering what you think of using Open VPN? Does it actually make you LESS secure or is it a good thing? Any advice appreciated thanks!! [/QUOTE]
