Title: Got I hacked "remote access"? (Firefox, World of Tanks, Monero, Windows10)
Post by: GoogleBit on June 20, 2018, 09:27:36 AM
Last night I was playing World of Tanks, while my mouse started doing some strange moves.

I did put the game, and Firefox with a few crypto news pages, into the background, so only Desktop was visible, and left for a smoke.

Came back after 10min and saw my Monero Wallet was opened about 6 times and waiting for password....

WTF !!! I have payed Avira on that windows10 and keep it quite clean in general.


Anyone having the same strange things  ...!?

PS: I do not have a cat ;-)

The programs you were running are irrelevant. The strange mouse moves and your wallet being opened multiple times means that you have a RAT in your computer. Avira results means nothing, viruses nowadays are undetectable.

You better check you internet connection and firewall. Hackers nowadays are our private internet connection as a medium for their shady business with our devices, specially to crypto wallets. How many of you are using the internet connection? Have you activated the "Block all new devices from connecting" option? With this setting, if you add a new device, before it can access your network, you must enter its MAC address for an Ethernet connection and its MAC address for a WiFi connection in the allowed list.

Verify your proxy address with that of your provider.
If it's a direct connection without any, go with Automatic settings and check back if it changes.
Look for any suspicious installed software or extensions. Malwarebytes are free for manual scan, try them.
