Some hacker (probably not) visited my website and told me that he is gonna target my site for spamming youtube comments.. (i only posted like 10 comments, 1 for each videos to advertise my site cuz i didn’t have money to advertise since im a student). This guy knows what webhosting site i use, my name last name, my house address, phone number.. So i just ip banned him and he can’t no longer visit my site unless he changes his ip address.. What should i do? Am i safe? Please guys i need help !! He said he is gonna kill me by visiting my house!! He knows my address. But he lives very far away from my house though.. I detected his ip address and he lives in illionis
Also he said he can easily access my admin management system and everything..

that’s what you get for spamming
Hi,
How exactly is he making these threats? Via email, posting them on a message board? Some other means?
If you have records of the threats email the ISP his IP address resolves to to lay a forma complaint. They have the power to disconnect his internet access, and if needed can blacklist him with other ISPs making it very hard for him to open a new account.
Second, report these threats to the Host hosting your website. Their technicians may be able to monitor your site just in case this person is capable of hacking into the page. Certainly, they would be interested in seeing the IP you got as they can use that too to follow up with his ISP should he act on his hacking threats.
Third, given he is threatening your physical well being, its probably time to consider laying a formal complaint with your local authorities. If they choose to investigate the matter, they have the power to serve a search warrant on his ISP which could enable them to locate this person and get him the help he needs (if he’s medically unfit), or arrest him if he’s mentally fine, but just a jerk.

dude. stop spamming you tube comments. you suck.
if you’re concerned you should record the conversations you are having with his person and file a report on the FBI abuse site http://www.cybercrime.gov/. Also sign up for the feature to hide your personal information from view at your web-hosting site. Anyone can see all your info by searching your domain on http://www.anywho.com if you don’t hide your info. Of course you will have to pay for that service.
First you Should have made your site set to private by asking your
DNS (registrar) provider for the address to be private. so that he cant get your info.
As for the admin management system change the URL link to your liking not admin or whatsoever and password protect your directories(website files)
Hes bluffing on the gonna kill you stuff, just remove the ad and all be well probably.
Try link exchange, banner exchange with “other” webmasters
and submit your site to google and yahoo etc.
Get a course on internet marketing to promote your site.
AS for your security contact youtube.com probably he is the owner of the videos.
I wouldn’t worry about it, the guy is probably the type that could never leave his PC (obviously he has the time to hack sites, etc). But I had someone click there way to finding my name and address, posted it around, signed me up for stuff I didn’t want. There was no threat, but I was worried he might even show up some day.
There are hundreds of these types out there. They leave rude comments, hoping to start arguments and find their next “victim” which is going to be their next challenge to hack into things. It’s like a game to them and they are addicted and will probably never actually do anything in real life.
Lay low and find out as much as you can and never resort to threats yourself. Probably that alone will make him go away.
