Default Re: friend\'s account hacked on Absolute for thousands

[ QUOTE ]
He says Absolute investigations determined that the activity
came from his IP and his MAC address, corresponding to the
desktop.

How possible is it to fake an IP and MAC for a hacker?? Or does
he need to reconsider who may have been on his desktop?

They probably weren't physically typing on his laptop, just accessed it remotely. Faking the IP is pretty hard.
