I think someone is trying to access my Mac remotely.

I am getting the logs below at least 3-4 times in a day. Earlier my remote management and sharing were ON and the firewall is off, after that I disabled the remote management & sharing and enabled a firewall.


Sometimes my Mac's screen automatically lights up from the lock screen.

Also, incoming requests are coming on a process name 'screensharingd', after enabling firewall they are blocked.

I have also found some similar info from this article. But I am not sure about the authenticity of this article.
