To Holger and others helping me with the reading of the syslogs. I just tried to paste yesterday's syslogs of June 18, 2023 (of the time I was being hacked, see post nr 19) on pastebin.com, but I was hacked again while I tried to do so. As I was logged in to pastebin.com, my mouse was disabled, turned into a vertical bar, the page went completely blank and I could not post the portion of the syslog session documenting the time when I was hacked yesterday (at around 9:00 PM and earlier, see posts number 3 and 19 in this thread).

Below is a screen shot showing that I was making remote connection just a few minutes ago, indicative of being hacked, as I do not use remote files ever.

I will keep at it and try posting the section of the June 18 syslog again later.

Here's the screenshot of evidence of the hack from just a few minutes ago, showing "remote" in the top bar. I also do not have a server set up, just use desktop Ubuntu 20.04.

I do not use gnome, as I have Kubuntu. So not familiar with those issues.

Did you at some point use LibreOffice and click on file, use remote files. And it made that the default?

[Rubi1200]

Do you share the computer with others? Maybe someone inadvertently changed something?

Hi,
No, I did not click on file, use remote files. In fact, when I open remote on libre office, there is a completely empty window, as I never use remote. I have a simple laptop, no server, no one I work with, no one I share the computer with.

If anyone can tell me what to look for in the syslogs to check for a remote desktop connection, I would appreciate it.

However, as I mentioned earlier in this thread, I have had logs changed as well as screenshots of irregularities I made turned into 0 bytes. Same with logs I saved that were turned into 0 bytes. So I reckon my syslogs may also have been tampered with. But I'd be glad to look for irregularities in the logs.

Hi Rubi,
Thanks for asking but the answer is no. See my answer in the previous post. Suggestions about what to look for in the syslogs are appreciated.

Hi,
Just now, I did another disk usage analysis and again the etc folder was updated today, which Holger earlier had called attention to.

This time, however, I clicked on the etc folder to see what had been changed:

1/cups: when I clicked on cups, two items were updated: subscriptions.conf and subscriptions.confO
Cups is the printing system. Any idea what subscriptions is about and why it would have been updated?

2/printcap was changed, which is related to cups

3/resolv.config

 This file is managed by man:systemd-resolved(8). Do not edit.#
# This is a dynamic resolv.conf file for connecting local clients to the
# internal DNS stub resolver of systemd-resolved. This file lists all
# configured search domains.
#
# Run "resolvectl status" to see details about the uplink DNS servers
# currently in use.
#
# Third party programs must not access this file directly, but only through the
# symlink at /etc/resolv.conf. To manage man:resolv.conf(5) in a different way,
# replace this symlink by a static file or a different symlink.
#
# See man:systemd-resolved.service(8) for details about the supported modes of
# operation for /etc/resolv.conf.


nameserver 127.0.0.53
options edns0 trust-ad
search home

I'd be grateful for explanations as to why these files in etc were updated today. I use a commercial modem and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS on a desktop, I have no personal server, no router, nor am I a member of a private network. I do not print files on this computer. Earlier Holger noted:

: Changes in '/etc/' are more cause for concern. Nothing should be able to make changes in '/etc/' unless it has rather high level permissions.

Well i had updates for cups:
