I just received a call from an indian microsoft technician. He informed me that my PC is sending a ton of error messages to microsoft. Most likely it has been hacked, and he would help me by remoting in and fixing the problem for me. I just wonder… Is it my PopOs or my Manjaro PC that sends all this info to microsoft?

    You could’ve told him your local IP (192.168.(1…255).(1…255)), is completely useless outside your home network but looks real enough.

      Anybody with a bit of technical knowledge will recognize a local IP address
