I want a few people's opinions before I take any actions:
My computer was recently hacked into, and a bunch of the software, and some
of the hardware was messed up (I know who did it - no one on this list -
someone from my school).
What would be the best thing to do here (other than physically damage the
person/and/or their computer)? Is there any security programs for Windoze
'95 that can be downloaded?
Where or who would I report this person to? FCC?
ThAnX,

Yes, there is a security program for Windoze. It's called Linux.

Well, if you want to be a wuss about it, the FBI will take on these cases.
I don't know if there's a threshold of seriousness upon which they'll act.
The local polie will also take a report, and might actually do something
if a) they are bored and want to pretend they know about computers or b)
have a high tech crime unit (most large cities, many medium-sized cities
and some small cities do).
The better thing to do would be to either a) beat senseless the punk who
broke into your system (my first choice), b) hack into his computer and
retaliate, c) both.

I would say if you have proof who did it, report them to the school.
They're in the position to be the most vicious. Of course, if you can lay hands
on the bugger who did it...

If they're from your school then I'd start with the school
administration. If they hacked in via the 'net, I'd report it to their ISP
as well. You may also consider small claims court if you can reasonably
prove that they were responsible.

First, buy a machete.
Second, hack off the offender's naughty bits.

In this case, would that be his (or her) fingers, or brain? Better take
care of both, just to be certain.

What was the attitude of the person who did it? If it was malicious, the
other suggestions given have a lot of merit. If not, then talk to the person
to let them know you didn't appreciate their "cleverness" and drop it.
