Do You Suspect An Ex Is Spying On Your Computer?

Do you think your computer is hacked? Someone is spying on you and reading your private email correspondence? Not by a stranger trying to commit identity theft but by an ex lover or ex spouse that is simply obsessed or perhaps trying to get an advantage in a divorce or custody litigation. If you suspect you've been hacked you may not be paranoid. It may be a fact that someone has hacked your computer and is reading your email. This can be extremely unsettling.

There are many ways a person can spy on your computer. They can install a key logger or steal your passwords through the use of Trojan virus emailed to your email address. The person doing this does not have to be a computer expert. There are many products that can be purchases over the Internet that will enable an obsessed stalker to spy on your email communications. So today anyone can hack a computer.

If you suspect this the first thing you may think of doing is throwing away your computer. Thinking that it will solve your problems. But if they already have your passwords it will be a simple matter to get right into the new computer system. In fact this course of action may cause you to tip off the stalker and alert him to cover his tracks.

Another solution would be to go off-site and use another computer at the library to change all your passwords first and then throw out the old computer. But by doing this you could be destroying all the evidence you had against your stalker. If you want to catch your stalker in the act you need to set a trap. This is not as hard as you may think.

This can be done with a service called a Hacked Email Account Investigation. This type of investigation will set up a trap in your email account to document any unauthorized access into your email account. This investigation can then trace that information right back to the stalker and locate and identify him. The next step is to reduce all this information to a report and turn it over to law enforcement for prosecution.

This investigation can be completed in as little as 24 to 48 hours, and will not alter any hardware or software on your system. In some cases the same PI can expand on this investigation and perform a forensic examination of the computers hard drive to document even more evidence for the prosecution of your hacker.

How Can You Trace a Gmail Email Account to the Owner

When Gmail first jumped onto the web based e-mail scene a few years ago, its service was available only to those who had been invited to use the service. Now it is free to anyone who wishes to use it and it has become one of the most popular free web based e-mail services on the internet. This is due largely to its large storage space and extra features like POP3 access and chat. Of course, Gmail is also very attractive to cyber stalkers and like other web based e-mail services, is popular among those who use e-mail to send uninvited harassing or annoying messages to others.

If you have been receiving unwanted e-mail from a Gmail address, there are steps that you can take to find out who has been sending you the e-mail and get them to stop.

Your first step should be to use the reverse e-mail search offered by Gmail itself. This is because it is easier for Gmail to search its own e-mail records than it is to get them to reveal information to an outside source. If you are a Gmail account holder yourself you might also have more leverage than you would as an "outside" e-mail account holder. Try using Gmail's reverse e-mail lookup system to see what kind of information you can uncover about the identity associated with the e-mail address that has been sending you unwanted e-mail.

If you don't have much (or any) luck with the Gmail reverse e-mail search system, there are a lot of independent reverse e-mail search systems on the World Wide Web. A simple search with any of the major search engines will turn up plenty of different search systems in which you can look up the identity that has been assigned to the e-mail address that keeps turning up in your e-mail inbox. The key in this search is to be tenacious. Do not give up if you don't find out who has been sending you unwanted e-mail with your first reverse e-mail search. One search service might have an easier time of accessing Gmail's records than others.

If the e-mails feel particularly malicious you might consider hiring a professional to run a reverse e-mail search for you. Gmail is especially attractive to the cyber bully because Gmail will strip the senders IP information from the header. Thus the Internet stalker thinks that he cannot be identified from a header trace.

While it is true that the header information from a Gmail email is useless in tracing their identity. That does not mean that it is impossible to identify and locate the sender of a Gmail email.

Every time a person uses the Internet or signs up to an online service and enters their email address, they leave a footprint and that footprint can be tracked and traced back to the sender. The professional investigator has developed years of sources and resources in order to obtain this information that may be unavailable to the average person.

There is also something called the "deep web" and this information is not accessible by a simple goggle search but it is available to a seasoned investigator that has spent years developing methods to search these areas of the web.
So a Gmail account may be more difficult than the average reverse email search. It may even be too difficult for the average person to trace but It's by no means impossible for a professional that specializes in email tracing.

Can You Trace An Email If The Sender Is Using a Proxy Server?

Many times when a person is seeking a consultation regarding an email trace investigation they are concerned because they believe their stalker is "computer savvy" and using a proxy server to disguise their IP Address. Well the good news is that an experienced investigator can still locate and identify the person behind an email address even if the sender is using a proxy server.

You may be asking what is a proxy server and how does it affect an email trace investigation? A proxy server is an intermediary computer that sits between the user's computer and the Internet. So if the sender of an email uses a proxy server then the email headers will show the IP address of the proxy server and not the IP address of the cyber stalkers computer. A person who is "computer savvy" mistakenly believes this will completely mask their identity.

But it is just that kind of thinking that makes it so much easier to catch this type of stalker. They are focusing all their attention on their IP address not realizing that the header examination is only one very small ingredient in a thorough investigation into the real identity behind an email address.
One thing they forget is that only the incoming header information will contain a disguised IP address. Unless they also use a proxy server or anonymous service to open and read every incoming email, identifying information about their computer will still be uncovered.Even the most savvy computer IT tech guy will not take this fact into consideration.

In their boldness and confidence in their computer knowledge they will fall for some of the most basic pretexts or tricks a seasoned private investigator will use in any investigation to locate or identify people. Think back to the days before the Internet and email. PIs were investigating, bail jumpers run away teenagers and all kinds of people on the run. Many times with far less information than what can be found in the most difficult email trace investigation.

An email sent by a big bad 'computer savvy" IT guy via a proxy server may stump another computer savvy IT guy but it's not even going to slow down a private detective experienced in email tracing investigations.The IP address and header examination is only one small step of the investigation involving time proven investigative techniques that a computer expert will be completely unaware of, and his overconfidence in a proxy server will be his undoing.
