Termie can you explain in layman terms what those logs are? Are they from database how possible could they be logins for a database or a system within the IT infrastructure of IEBC? I did Ms DOS way back in the days that is the closest i came to any of this stuff.. I am quite good in observing in that I can do simple Marcos coding without realizing what I am coding or just find my way in some stuff I have no idea if I would break if I mess with.. So I am what you little knowledge and dangerous in this stuff.. I plan to take my arse to a boot camp one day to get some basics of this stuff for my own good

They just document stuff that is going on with that database server.  You log in and it's recorded.  Server runs a helper program(what these guys are laughably claiming to be malicious applications) and it's recorded etc.  It happens behind the scenes.  Think of it as an electronic audit. 

Most programmers don't know or ever have to care about any of this stuff.  It's more of a DB admin area of interest.  But some claims will be immediately recognized as just wild by anyone with some familiarity of modern development environments.

I have no idea how Raila got these.  I am not even sure if they are genuine.  But they list some information like server names that could be directly refuted or confirmed by IEBC.  It could be that someone knows a thing or two about the IEBC setup and included realistic information.  Short of an audit, you really can't tell.  But he should put this hacking nonsense behind him.
