Duh, by reading this site. I deleted H4XOR and H4XOR2 accounts today while going through the database looking for bots.
Umm, I never posted my new email address anywhere on this site... Confused
Is it possible that this guy has some sort of access to your computer and therefore the password manager? Perhaps something similar to back orifice/BO2K (but more modern)...

I would not rule that out just yet. Run a spyware scan.
I'm running Ubuntu 6.10. I would hope that that isn't the problem.
how are emails done that are sent through phpbb? Maybe he is using that.

they are sent quite cleanly...
Is there anyone you know in real life that both knew your password and your new email address?
No. That's what freaks me out.
Maybe you should set the permissions on everything in your home directory so no other user besides you and root can even view your files.
make sure things like sshd aren't running, which could be broken into. Also, have you checked this new e-mail at school or similar? It could be a compromised computer other than your own that he is tracking you. Hell, a [physical] keylogger on a school comp would be easy, AND it would snag your passwords
I have logged in at school, except I installed linux on those computers, too. Would a keylogger still be possible? Also I have the following processes running:
sh
ssh-agent
yes, a key logger is still possible. There are ones that go between your PS/2 port and your keyboard and are undetectable hardware wise.

Do you really think someone would care enough to actually buy one of those!? They're like, $200...

EDIT: Nevermind, they're only $90-$120 for a 128k-256k respectively.

Oh, the USB ones are 200

you can make your own for less than 30 dollars I believe...
either way, it is proof that they do exist.
pre-made one for $60 http://www.brickhousesecurity.com/bestfamily-keylogger-kk32kmini.html

DIY one: http://www.keelog.com/diy.html

Its not complicated or expensive for a small memory model

@Chip: just check next time you are at school, and see if there is a keylogger installed or not - its pretty easy to tell Wink

There is no physical key logger installed.
