Question about #OpenWeStand

[sagesnow]

My computer was on sleep mode in another room and it just now lit up and audio started playing on it with a deep masculine voice saying we must reopen and get our economy going. Is microsoft sending out this propaganda or how did this happen? I'm creeped out.

1. Probably a russian or republican-sponsored ad.

It's going to get worse as the election ramps up.

2. Still don't understand how

this ad was able to wake up my computer on sleep mode. Any other time I have to put my security code in to get the sleep screen to let me onto the active desktop on the computer. Have I been hacked? I'm thinking about ditching this computer and getting a more secure one.

3. Microsoft is making bank from the lockdown

I doubt that was their ad. Probably just a random browser tab with a video ad on it.

4. I was asleep in the other room

I heard noise and saw light from the kitchen. This unsolicited "OpenWeStand" audio had an Arnold Schwarzenegger voice saying how we must open the economy now. How can I block this?

5. I've had that happen, too, but not where I would have had to put in my password.

That is a bit frightening.

6. Do you have notifications on in your browser?

7. No. No notifications are turned on my computer.

I was not logged in. It was on the initial screen where you have to put your security code in to get to the active screen. Not sure if my computer has been hacked or my service provider has been.
