is there a way to detect if a keystroke tracker has been used on my MacBook ?
The ransom email was a scam. I bet they told you they know that you'd been watching adult videos and they had pictures to prove it, right? They have nothing. They are trying to scare you into paying them money.
Did someone have physical access to your MacBook? It's highly unlikely for that to happen remotely unless you have government secrets some foreign power is after.
No physical access. The ransom email stated they put software on my system to track my keystrokes. I don’t think I have any high level gov secrets. 😎
Thanks. The fact they had one of my old passwords made it look legit. This stuff freaks me out😩
Yup, most of us have old passwords floating around the 'net. These scammers have made use of that to scare people.
Thanks for your input/help. This stuff scares me!
