Hello,
Last night I left my laptop at the office to transfer a big backup file overnight. I left around 11:30pm and came back around 8:50am. First thing I noticed was a new window on Firefox for a muslim dating website, which is strange because I strictly surf professional websites from this laptop. No facebook, twitter, nor any news website.
I then noticed that my file transmission was idle. It showed no progression at all. The computer was overall slow, and I had several apps (Thunderbird, libreoffice) that had a popup "Wait or Froce Quit".
I proceeded to restart the computer but it kept looping through the spalsh screen as shutdown. I hard reset it and started to use it.
When I checked my command history, I came across this string:
"<9d><87><83>ü¤^_°(8)]¨ýä«" repeating itself over 1000 times, sometimes with this string: "<9d><87>å^O×JßÎ/¨³å^Z^U-Ô<98>6<83>ü¤^_°(8)]¨ýä«" . No regular history commands were found.
I checked for syslog file and found these lines:
A little further down and I found these:Code:May 17 20:19:52 MyComp kernel: [24826.890103] [UFW BLOCK] IN=wlan0 OUT= MAC=01:00:5e:00:00:01:6c:38:a1:11:fe:c4:08:00 SRC=192.168.1.254 DST=224.0.0.1 LEN=32 TOS=0x00 PREC=0xC0 TTL=1 ID=34575 PROTO=2 May 17 20:21:41 MyComp gnome-session[2378]: Nautilus-Share-Message: Called "net usershare info" but it failed: Failed to execute child process "net" (No such file or directory) May 17 20:21:57 MyComp kernel: [24951.927664] [UFW BLOCK] IN=wlan0 OUT= MAC=01:00:5e:00:00:01:6c:38:a1:11:fe:c4:08:00 SRC=192.168.1.254 DST=224.0.0.1 LEN=32 TOS=0x00 PREC=0xC0 TTL=1 ID=34576 PROTO=2

I found similar things in the auth.log file.
Also, in Firefox, all my stored passwords had been removed. I only stored lame passwords, from the test version of apps, but still.
Any thoughts?
The /home/user1 is encrypted, but does it mean it appears encrypted to any attacker or is it decrypted to any attacker since an active uncrypted session (mine) was active?
Thanks!
