[QUOTE="Rov123, post: 1112245, member: 118385"] I suspected to have a firmware rootkit embedded in one of my hardware, though I do not know exactly which. I have flashed my NVME SSD, and BIOS, as well as GPU, but it didn't work. I also flashed my keyboard, and perhaps mouse, but not my monitor which I think could be the culprit since it's one of my oldest hardware component, although the monitor does not have an option to flash the firmware. Based on the behaviours that I've seen on my computer, this rootkit installed some very deep remote access tool to my device which allows the attacker to completely watch my computer screen, and perhaps even livestream it for their cybergang to see. They know exactly what I am doing at ALL times, and they used this advantage to harass me many times. The attack was also able to remote control my system, here's an example: [MEDIA=youtube]b9AI7HjZWtw[/MEDIA] They did this sometime back in September or so. They also remotely used my installed Discord app to chat with someone and emoted someone when I've never done that ever, and I checked the devices and logins and it seems secured. I mean this is very sophisticated attack, because I've tried all antivirus solutions, and all kinds of scanners, one time scanners, paid antivirus such as bitdefender and kaspersky, and none of it every detected a single thing. This suggests some very hidden and deep malware, which someone suggested to me before that it could be a firmware rootkit.
