My fellow penguins,
I have been pwned. What started off as weeks of smiling everytime I heard a 7-10s soundbyte of Karma Factory’s “Where Is My Mind” has now devolved into hearing dashes and dots (Morse Code) and my all-time favorite, a South Park S13: Dead Celebrities soundbyte of Ike’s Dad saying, “Ike, we are sick of you talking about ghosts!”
It’s getting old now.
I feel like these sounds should be grepable in some log somewhere, but I’m a neophyte to this. I’ve done a clean (secure wipe >> reinstall) already, the sounds returned not even a day later.
Distro is Debian Bookworm. So how do I find these soundbytes? And how do I overcome this persistence? UFW is blocking inbound connection attempts everyday, but the attacker already established a foothold.
Thank you in advance. LOLseas
Update: post-reinstallation and monitoring incoming connections, I’m happy to say the sounds have not returned. This has given me the motivation to install a Netgate 1100 with pfSense ahead of the PC. Thank you all!
I’m a sappling in the Linux world, so I’m useless to you, but I’m following this thread just in case I start hearing “Ike, we are sick of you talking about ghosts!” coming from my speakers.
How do you think you were compromised? And what have you been doing to make sure you’re not leaking your information to a memelord shit poster of a hacker in the meantime while you’re working on getting this fixed?
No ideer. And no ideer. I’m finally trying to do some serious damage control, but it’s been a real headscratcher. I was amused at first, I have a good sense of humor. Until they started with “long dash- dot dot… dot dot… dot”. I’ll save you looking it up, they told me to off myself. That’s not funny anymore. Thus Lemmy post.
