On Monday, 19th October at 18:14 hours, hackers have used IP address: 178.149.248.93 to Hijack my G-mail account and to send a message to all my contacts asking for a money. They made a fake Hotmail account with my name and setup forwarding of replays to that new fake account. After that they have deleted my G-mail account. This is a content of a letter they have sent to my contacts: ------------ I hope that this will arrive on time. I am traveling to Leeds, United Kingdom and I had a bag that was stolen at the bus station with all my personal belongings telephone, money and passport. I tried to solve it , because you please lend me 1,850 euros so I solved the problem. I'll give you back the money as soon as I get back from the United Kingdom . Western Union is the best and quickest way to receive the money . I can send you information on how to send me money . I hope to hear from you soon . Greetings ------------

DNSBL* - is a list of IP addresses published through the Internet Domain Name Service (DNS) either as a zone file that can be used by DNS server software, or as a live DNS zone that can be queried in real-time. DNSBLs are most often used to publish the addresses of computers or networks linked to spamming; most mail server software can be configured to reject or flag messages which have been sent from a site listed on one or more such lists.
WHOIS** - is a query/response protocol that is widely used for querying databases in order to determine the registrant or assignee of Internet resources, such as a domain name, an IP address block, or an autonomous system number. WHOIS lookups were traditionally performed with a command line interface application, and network administrators predominantly still use this method, but many simplified web-based tools exist. WHOIS services are typically communicated using the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). Servers listen to requests on the well-known port number 43.
** Approximate Geographic Location - This is NOT the exact geographical location of the person/organization with the given IP address. However, this should still give you a good idea about the area/region where this person/orgranization is located.
