My PC is hacked

posted 1 year ago

I just received a call from an indian microsoft technician. He informed me that my PC is sending a ton of error messages to microsoft. Most likely it has been hacked, and he would help me by remoting in and fixing the problem for me. I just wonder… Is it my PopOs or my Manjaro PC that sends all this info to microsoft?

I once looked at a Linux PC and I couldn’t stop reading Karl Marx ever since.

Communism. You get it automatically from using Linux. Everybody knows that.

Once someone asked if somebody knows how to run this old game in a linux community.

The game was “capitalism lab”. I said no, we are communists.

The guy then deleted his post.

2. Be civil

Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
Leave remarks of “peasantry” to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.

These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.

3. Post Linux-related content

Including Unix and BSD.
Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.

4. No recent reposts

Everybody uses Arch btw, can’t quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
