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
Do you live with other people? It sounds like someone who lives with you (or otherwise has physical access to the device) is playing a prank on you, given the fact that the issue returned a day after a reinstall. Maybe they are booting into a live USB and installing the prank software that way.
Try reinstalling with full disk encryption maybe, so that they can’t just modify your files like that.
