Never had a smart phone and refused to get one for the longest time. Finally crack and I got an S4 on an awesome deal at best buy (two years ago).
Not even 48 hours in, my phone's OS gives me a warning message telling me that my phone has been hacked.

Coincidentally immediately after I looked it up, there was a known exploit with the Knox software installed into the phones.

Didn't even go to websites or anything in that time.

This was the first time I knew the government was watching me personally.

@->->--

That used to happen to me alot when i hade WoL enabled and my desktop was connected directly to the internet.

I guess someone port scanned me and found WoL enabled and decided to fuck with me.

...

>not sanboxed

Nice pressing pause button skills you got man

I know. Actually I'm searching for some kind of job in this field. Got any?

You can't find WoL by searching
You can only find it by specifically waking the device up, so you must have got a magic packet sent to broadcast at your mac address

...

fyi windows 10 does a meme that causes the PC to wake up if it's in S5 (soft off) and a device on the network tries to access its shares, even if WoL is disabled.

My Android TV turned itself on at 3am, it doesn't have an onboard mic or camera though.

why don't you press stop button, of your life? :^)

It was the NSA waking up his machine to scan it.

I remember in high school I was constantly getting messages from my Antivirus about it blocking intrusions. Scared me pretty bad so I would unhook the ethernet cable unless I needed the net.

>There are TVs that turn themselves on to show emergency tests

That's why I won't buy a smart TV. I like to know I have power over it. If it can turn itself on then why does it need me?

I never said smart TVs.

It must be smart if it can turn itself on. My cat can't turn one on but he's smart enough to shit in a box.

Turns out my bluetooth was causing that, when I disabled it, it stopped making that sound.

Seriously, what the fuck is going on?

CHANGE ROOT PASSWORD AT ONCE

Burn everything, move to Canada and live with the polar bears. This is your life from now on.

didn't own the machine but it was on some network that had a danfoss temperature controller

needless to say things got hot

hi guys i'm the guy with a hacker writing "happiness" and "tranquility" in my Google docs.

janitor deleted my thread and i only have 3 questions unanswered

i would really appreciate if any of you could answer them because it will really help me regain my security

thanks in advance (will thank you later too)

sorry op. this thread seems the most relevant thanks for your understanding

1.
>Yes, because you'll either download the Trojan again, or run outdated vulnerable plugins again, or reinstall old vulnerable programs/operation systems
Will using Ubuntu Gnome instead of Windows prevent me from committing such retarded acts unconsciously?

2.
Will using both Ubuntu Gnome and Windows with dual boot and using Windows for only playing League of Legends and Overwatch, and doing all other stuff (work, studying, writing the novel) on Ubuntu (thus not giving my Google credentials to the Windows part), prevent the hacker from snooping on my Google Docs document?

In other words, even if the hacker has a RAT Trojan on my Windows part, he can't snoop on or make changes to what's on the Ubuntu part, am i correct?

in other words, in such a case, the Ubuntu part is just an invisible, untouchable realm to the hacker bastard.

is it so?

3.
Is Ubuntu Gnome immune to Trojans?

I was about to help you until
>League of Legends and Overwatch
Fuck off Sup Forums

please help me
i swear i will get over those childish games once i graduate from college

those games are just essential for boys to have social life in Korea ;(

CUT THE MAINFRAME HARDLINE

...Does this happen for other reasons besides malware? My GX70 laptop did that right out of the box. I assumed it was from poorly written bloatware added by the manufacturer (color changing keyboard backlight, fan speed control, all kinds of shit.)

I believe that ghosts and demons are actually causing all of this.

Encrypt the linux installation and use a file system undetectable to windows and it should be almost impossible for any virus to get to it. That being said, google docs is in the cloud, so they don't really need to get into your linux installation.

Stop pirating
After clean install of windows update it first
Read up on vulnerabilities of the things you want to install (there was one on Java 6)
Download an anti virus because you're too dumb to use Common Sense 2016

I gave up

thanks
>use a file system undetectable to windows
how do i do it? (i know i sound retarded. google gave me nothing) do i tick something on installation?

mine has WoL enabled and turns on at night sometimes
could Plex have anything to do with it?

Pretty sure linux already uses a file system that windows can't understand, I'm just to lazy to look it up. But even if it was detectable, an encryption would work either way with the same result.

it's google update crap

thanks

Damn, this is stumping me too, did you check for any APKs he could have downloaded? Or unprotected wifi

I dont know maybe. Either that or someone is sending a magic packet to it.

Something has to be sending a packet to wake it up.

I have powershell flashing like this on every startup draining 100mb of RAM.
I dont know what the fuck is going on

Happens to me too. I don't think I have a virus, but I have been running this install for 3 years so who knows.

Yo this shit sounds fucking scary.

it's plex

Sir, you too are a 10/10~

Are you the resident schizo ?

My old laptop used to turn itself on randomly during the night sometimes. Still not too sure why, I think it was a hardware issue because that thing was falling apart.

oh fug

nothing2hide nothing2fear :^)

My laptop kept doing this for days and I couldn't figure what the problem was. It would turn on randomly in the night and spoop the shit out of me. Then it occurred to me to check the powercfg and I realised it was uTorrent being a cheeky lad.
