Found left trouble

[Karl Larsen]

    I was hacked last month and had a simple password for my name which 
is internal and only seen here in my room or, I forgot, a person using 
ssh. This German hacker just turned on my firefox web browser several 
times to a German web page that never fully loads up. I was happy 
because he could have done something worse.

    Well he did. While using the web browser it would sudden change to a 
full screen colored thing and my mouse and keyboard stopped working. 
Today I went to the source of my Firefox and it is at 
/home/karl/work/firefox/. There are about 30 files there and I studied 
them and there were two that looked odd. I did ls -al and found they 
were made the same day I was hacked! Then looked and they were 
exicutables and I deleted both. This seems to have stopped this problem.

    Time will tell but it is just like the German's to do this kind of 
thing. It hurts and they don't give a crap.
