    Obviously the phone number leads to fraudsters/hackers. I'm sure there are several here that would love to call them and waste their time. Enjoy.

    Maybe if I had a so called burner phone.....but I already receive more than enough unsolicited solicitation via voice and text....to be giving another scammer my number.

    I picked up the slack for CM- I am getting 3 a day from 260 area code. Different numbers on different days, but same area code. These people make me say bad words and my wife gets mad @ me.

    They left off a few digits on the MAC address and the IP is the broadcast IP of that subnet. They could at least put some effort into it.

    I was having the same problem with MULTIPLE calls every day. Then I started answering the phone with “Police Department, may I help you?” They would start with their speel and I would tell them that they had reached the police department and the call was being monitored and traced. Within about a week the calls stopped, and I have not been bothered again for the last couple of years.i guess the scammers put MY number on a “DO NOT CALL” list, lol.

    I'm sorry,this is pedantic and again I'm sorry.
    But I don't this this qualifies as a hacker.

    Depends on what they do when you call. possibly having you give them remote control of your PC might qualify.

    As I'm sure you know, there is more to hacking than brute force. Social vectors like this are included.

    There are times I enjoy messing with them. I've made a couple angry enough that after I hung up they immediately called back to cuss me out. Lately I've been offering to befriend my caller Shawshank Redemption style but haven't had any takers.
