hackers threat? what steps do i need to take?

playing a game on yahoo, some guy didnt like the way i played, and threaten to continoulsly attack me as soon as i came online, not in game..that also.

he has threatened my family by ruining their credit and such if i did not play his way..

i like the game, so therefore im playing his way....for now until i decide what my best options are.

i have nothing against hackers, but this one crossed the line.

he does not realize i do not live at this isp address..helping mom out since father died, and i dont want the hastle in case he can somehow screw with my moms ssi or bills and take months to fix,,

i want to know what steps i can take to have this person/problem taken care of but without hurting the other hackers..just this one guy

he messed up and left his threat on my mail in the game..evidence

i left grievence with yahoo, but seems to have done nothing about it.

    Ohhhh, don't worry at all. That guy is just saying that because he is angry at you and the game. It's funny, most people that get angry on online games make threats like those all the time.

    As yourself this: In what way is he going to hack me? How would he do it?

    He can't just magically get your information. Hacking is way too complicated for some guy playing a yahoo game. They can't get all your details just from your IP. The only real way of him getting your credit is if you gave it to them, like a phishing site or fake emails.

    I just say ignore the guy, play how you want to play, and notice how nothing happens.

    i think of you're a retard. i do no longer even think of you artwork in IT. Ever heard of STUXNET? It grow to be a state-of-the-artwork piece of code written via the U.S. and Israel to attack Iran's nuclear centrifuges. That laptop virus (in case you comprehend what a working laptop or laptop virus is probable no longer in spite of the incontrovertible fact that) must be used to take down means grids and different industrys. yet you in basic terms went finished retard on the internet. You by no potential go finished retard on the internet. Do you even comprehend what a "0-Day"? anyhow maximum those that use DDOS assaults are script kiddies that use third party application to take down networks or deface web content. China has stolen designs to defense force technologies and truly have stolen money from the economy. particular there is alot of coding for stealing encrypted documents. Or how approximately somebody hacking a drone it takes coding to try this. yet you went finished retard in spite of the incontrovertible fact that. I by no potential suggested STUXNET grow to be uploaded in the time of the internet. once you're so clever tell me what a "0-day" is. what's the differnce between a working laptop or laptop virus, virus, Trojan. Or what's a "Script kiddie" is. you could desire to tell me in 3-5 minutes so i comprehend you're no longer surfing in the time of the internet for half-hour. genuinely a "0-Day" does not would desire to have something to do with JAVA. it is a few style of attack the place it makes use of a unknown vulnerability. and that i needless to say comprehend better than you do. I recommend now your asserting stuff like "You enhance modern information activities and act such as you comprehend something." I even have comprehend what a 0-Day grow to be for years. i do no longer study laptop- international. provided that i'm finding up comments on a pill or something like that. anyhow some time is up on telling me what the adaptation is between a working laptop or laptop virus, and an epidemic and a trojan is. and you have did no longer tell me the main excellent definition of a 0-Day is. so which you're i'm no longer believing you artwork for IT. Which makes me think of which you in easy terms suggested that in the time of your question so as which you seem knowledgeable approximately hacking and cyber conflict. Or probable desktops often.
