The obvious answer would be to place the culprit at the scene of the crime at that time, or conversely, was the victim anywhere near a PC/ a device with that IP address at that time and can he prove he wasn't ?

Ideally, prove it wasn't his device (or a device he had access to) which sent the email.

That's the ART 174 about calomny, dumbass

I tried to translate the Art 174. I try again:

It seems if someone have made something to raise any suspicion toward someone that would be against honor (like watching porn from work). That someone is guilty of that offense and liable up to 3 years jail or/and a fine.

I imagine the authorities would be interested in this.

Improve your English comprehension, then come back re-read what I said. You infer some kind of intent that was not made in my example.

1) Although it's not really source of identification, remove the IP from here

2) Include in your police report to request google to display any source of logging to your friend account. A fraudulent access has been made by gmail, it's probably trackable (unless the suspect has used proxies).

3) Dont ask your friend to change the password, it might block the suspect to do again and be tracked

That why I said it "seems"... But it really seems so:
If one use someone else computer to access p0rn, it can raise any suspicion toward honor of the "victim". Therefore it would be an offense as per art 174.

Well, right, as the whole point of the traffic accounting is mostly for incoming problems, not tracking outgoing customer traffic. And it depends on the network kit, too, since firewalls can often serve as switches. Most of the time it isn't enabled unless there's a network issue and, even then, the expertise to sift through these logs is minimal in most shops.

And, he might get lucky if the lease times on this ISP are fairly long since the IPs don't need to get reassigned every time you boot. It varies, but it could be a long while depending on the lease criteria. The DHCP table and IP range is less of a concern than the resources to manage frequent reassignments.

Oh noes. It's turned into a Geek Off.

Run!

Almost.



That is, "Almost completely wrong."



Do carry on

Bit more info for you
http://www.projecthoneypot.org/ip_194.230.155.12

Looks like a bot to me.
Some of that info is quite old though.

You were given fair notice by the thread title

Unless it is a super-bot, I think it must be human interaction, as emails were also replied to etc etc

Hrm, I hadn't realized the EU came up to speed on the draconian measures in the states. But Switzerland isn't part of the EU unless this is extended to Schengen states so it isn't clear that they must comply.

Of course, there's always Eschelon

Bilaterals and, of course, the bad press for CH following 9/11.


ftfy

The good news is that Zurich KaPo has a e-crimes division that might be interested in this.

The bad news is that it seems to be small fry in the scheme of things - a gmail account was allegedly hacked from a Sunrise IP?

Turn on 2-factor authentication for the Google services. Improve password complexity elsewhere and avoid open wifi and internet cafes.

Defend yourself first - if the cops are interested then the ISP may be required to turn over logs (that they must keep) so that an investigation can be carried out - no fishing permitted, court order all the way.

In my opinion, coming now with this when it seemed to happen in April means it'll be hard work.

Lastly, if the "victim" is accused of anything, the burden of proof lies with the accuser.

Bad press for CH? Just curious, what happened as I don't remember the Swiss getting much of a mention post 9/11...then again, I might have read it and forgotten.

Thanks

poptart, I think the SIMs used by the alleged terrorists before the 9/11 attacks were Swiss PAYG (Sunrise IIRC). The irony is to get a pre-pay SIM in the US does not need any government-issued ID like it does here.....

Let's clear up a few things.
1. ISPs are required to keep logs for a considerable period and they will know what consumer had what IP address at what time. It's the legal requirement of an ISP to do this. Be it a cable connection or DSL connection, with supplied CPE or not, they know who was connected when. Same for mobile subscribers.
2. Like with P2P, you need rock solid evidence to make progress. That's why there are few prosecutions in Switzerland on that topic and why this is small fry.

From my experience, there is little that can be done here apart from improving your own security habits. Everyone knows your Gmail username so do get a complex password or 2-factor authentication - it works with BlackBerry, iPhone and Android (and even SMS).

A significant number of the 9/11 involveds were said to be in possession of Swiss PAYG phones because there was no requirement6 to register them in any way at that time.
