Is My MacBook Pro At Risk From Hackers

Hi guys;


As open my MacBook few days ago I saw a cursor moving around on my screen and (certainly) that wasn’t me.


My Actions:


  1. I disabled the internet and closed my computer temporarily
  2. I later on after about 3 hours, I opened the computer again and then put on the internet, the same event happened and this time I heard a sound as if I was downloading or deleting a file.
  3. I quickly put off the internet and shutdown the computer.
  4. I opened the computer again this evening and saw this pop up
  5. Then I tried to open after clicking OK several times and wasn’t still able to do so because the POP UP was continuously coming up.
  6. This following image is what I saw upon clicking SHOW IN FINDER:
  7. I then deleted the files and moved them to TRASH.
  8. I have shutdown my computer now as I am not sure if it’s safe to continue to use it under this condition.
  9. PLEASE CAN SOMEONE COME TO MY AID🙏🙏🙏🙏


Best Regards

SB
