so, i am convinced the malware i picked up [View all]
is from the solar winds hack.
it something called p. more here- https://www.democraticunderground.com/10965188
there was an article posted here today or yesterday that it started 9 mos ago. right about the time frame that it started.
and it isnt just messing w my online accounts. it hijacked the control key in my indesign.
and i'm pretty sure this new ipad has it too. i still have trouble w a few accounts, but the worst one is chase bank. not only do i have to jump through several hoops to get into my account, i sent a bank to bank transfer the other day that never arrived.
i never could get a mailbox on this thing, and the bluetooth slowly stopped connecting to one thing after another. i was using it to hotspot, and to run a bluetooth speaker. it just slowly degraded to where i had to use the personal hotspot instead of the blue tooth, and it wont talk to the speaker at all.
it also appears to keep the laptops going when they should be asleep, and interferes w charging.
i took one of the laptops back in this am, and told them what i know. they looked at me like i was nuts.
but i told them they better get on it.
i am assuming these devices are dead. my question is- can i safely save my files?
