Q: HACKED - Cursor being controlled

Hello,

 

Since yesterday the cursor has been acting weird, when I am connected to Wif it randomly zoom the pages, highlights,and opens apps and I am hardly able to control it and when I turn off the wifi it stops... The last thing I did was update Adobe Reader..

 

I have restarted the MBP (running latest OS update) and resetting the SMC, no screen sharing but its still doing the same.

 

Has anyone seen this before and how can I remove it.

 

Any help is appreciated.

MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2009)

    I recently experienced a very similar issue. Your computer has most likely not been hacked and you may have a simple hardware issue. Such problems can be difficult to troubleshoot, because restarting, resetting the SMC or switching off WIFI may fix the problem temporarily, but it is only coincidence.

     

    Please see my post: Strange Trackpad Mouse Problem

     

    In my case (Macbook Pro 2009) it was simply the Trackpad flex cable, which contacts had to be cleaned.
