(25,315 posts)I also saw like a newscast thing. I quickly closed it, so it wouldn't infect my computer. I have no idea what it consisted of.

(51,129 posts)so I alerted on the posts, then the malicious code engaged and I closed the tab, quit Firefox, and pulled the plug on the modem. I made sure I had no cookies before I checked back in here.
Has anyone detected malware getting on their system?

(65,173 posts)The hacker used my account and the system kicked me out. I assume the password was not seen by the hacker, but it was good to get a new one.
I think this hacker must be scared!

Edited to add that I had to get a new password. I would have done that anyway.

(51,129 posts)I followed the article it an anonymous domain in Scottsdale AZ. This matches some agent provocateur activity during the primary, fake news from anonymous domains hosted in AZ.
My number one suspect is the same gang who pushed the Macron hack on Twitter.

(3,827 posts)We see this type of stuff all the time at my job. No biggie.
On election day I also shot a video of the one that the hackers used on here.

(51,129 posts)You don't know if your computer is being invaded. I closed the tab, the browser, and pulled the modem power plug out. Then I did a security check. Plus, I have Sophos anti-virus running full time.

(25,315 posts)Restarting executes the malware on start-up. Scan immediately and quarantining/deleting anything before it executes.

(51,129 posts)Scanning 5 million files right now just as a precaution. Will take all day to do both drives. TimeMachine is also a real plus, but the scan takes twice as long with the back-up drive.

His death is a pretty big price to pay for MY sins. I guess I should at least get to have a clean conscious.
